    The causes of gender bias favoring men in scientific and scholarly systems are complex and related to overall gender relationships in most of the countries of the world. An as yet unanswered question is whether in research publication gender bias is equally distributed over scientific disciplines and fields or if that bias reflects a closer relation to the subject matter. We expected less gender bias with respect to subject matter, and so analysed 14 journals of gender studies using several methods and indicators. The results confirm our expectation: the very high position of women in co-operation is striking; female scientists are relatively overrepresented as first authors in articles. Collaboration behaviour in gender studies differs from that of authors in PNAS. The pattern of gender studies reflects associations between authors of different productivity, or "masters" and "apprentices" but the PNAS pattern reflects associations between authors of roughly the same productivity, or "peers". It would be interesting to extend the analysis of these three-dimensional collaboration patterns further, to see whether a similar characterization holds, what it might imply about the patterns of authorship in different areas, what those patterns might imply about the role of collaboration, and whether there are differences between females and males in collaboration patterns. © 2012 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.

    Very few studies have examined reflection of scientific collaboration networks through coauthorship on the Web. In this paper the collaboration between 80 German institutions of immunology is analyzed, including gender collaboration. Multi-authored papers from 1997 are less visible on the Web in 2004 than the data from 2002. Highly productive institutions have a higher central position in both bibliographic and web collaboration networks and consequently greater influence on the entire scientific community than the less productive institutions. The contribution of female members of the German Society of Immunology in both the networks is very low in relation to that of their male counterparts, which corresponds with general results of a large gender study conducted by the European Commission. © Beech Tree Publishing 2006.

    Gender bias and explanation models for the phenomenon of women's discriminations in research careers Open PDF

    In the present paper four myths of gender differences in scientific performance are presented and discussed. The persistence of these myths in different forms of evaluation is influencing the women's discriminations in research careers in combination with effects explained in other explanation models for the existence of the unseen barrier (glass ceiling) that keeps women from rising to the upper levels of the corporate ladder. © 2013 Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.
