Abstract

Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields are crucial for innovation capacity and life long learning in a rapidly changing world. But the gender gaps are so pronounced globally in STEM education and thereby in the workforce as well. Does this also reflect on the awards and recognitions bestowed on female scientists. This work attempts to examine the status of women laureates in terms of selected prestigious awards including Nobel prize, Fields medal, Abel prize and Turing award through scientometric analysis. © 2021 18th International Conference on Scientometrics and Informetrics, ISSI 2021.
