    The quantity and quality of female researchers: A bibliometric study of Iceland Open PDF 
    (2001)
    Lewison, G.
    The output of female researchers in Iceland, relative to that of males, can be investigated because typically their "surnames" end in "dottir" whereas the names of males end in "son". Over the 21 years from 1980 to 2000, there has been a rise in female: male output from 8% to about 30%. It is higher in the life sciences (biomedical research, biology and clinical medicine) but lower where there is also foreign co-authorship, suggesting that females are less able to make overseas contacts through travel. There appears to be no difference in the quality of female and male research output, as measured either by journal impact categories or by citations.

    Gender and productivity differentials in science Open PDF 
    (2002)
    Prpić, K.
    The paper presents the results of an examination of gender differences in scientific productivity on a sample of 840 respondents, half the young scientific population in Croatia. In the last decade gender differences in the scientific productivity of young researchers have increased, which may be the result of introducing a more competitive scientific system. Young female researchers publish an average of two scientific papers less than their male counterparts in five years, and their publications reach 70.6% of males' publication productivity in the same period. In the case of both sexes, about 15% researchers publish about half of all research papers, but even the most productive women publish less than their male counterparts Socio-demographic, educational and qualificational predictors contribute more or less equally to the number of scientific publications by women and men. It is not until we introduce structural variables that a strong sex differentiation appears because these factors are much more powerful in explaining the production of women. They show that female scientists' publication productivity is more strongly influenced by their position in the social organization of science. There are also considerable sex differences in the case of individual productivity predictors. International contacts determine the number of papers by female scientists most of all. Attendance at scientific conferences abroad is the most powerful predictor of male productivity, too, but reviewing colleagues' papers and academic degree are also very important.

    WONCA 2004 in Orlando, Florida, provided the stage for a symposium on “Challenges for Women in Family Medicine”, organized by the WONCA Working Party on Women and Family Medicine. This international symposium provided a review of what women family physicians are doing to confront challenges in education, clinical practice, academia, organizations and leadership Citation[1]. Representing Europe, the results of a unique study on the latter subject were presented.
