“…The other three indicators suggest no or only weak differences, which implies that the impact of female authors in I-O psychology is fairly similar to that of their male counterparts (cf. Borrego et al 2010;Sotudeh and Khoshian 2014).…”

“…However, other studies were unable to replicate the male advantage, at least not on all performance Scientometrics indicators (e.g., Borrego et al 2010;Powell et al 2009;Sotudeh and Khoshian 2014). Performance indicators which have been used in previous studies are the number of publications, the number of publications in relationship to the journals' impact factors, the number of citations, and the number of first authorships.…”

“…A considerable number of studies have addressed the number and the impact of publications of women and men in several fields, but the results have been inconclusive: Although the majority of papers have found differences in favor of men (e.g., Garg and Kumar 2014;Larivière et al 2013;Prpić 2002;Puuska 2010), others have documented differences in favor of women (e.g., Powell et al 2009), and others still have found no differences or mixed effects (e.g., Borrego et al 2010;Joy 2006;Long 1992;Sotudeh and Khoshian 2014). Furthermore, it has been questioned whether gender differences have been disappearing over recent years (van Arensbergen et al 2012).…”

Are there gender differences among researchers from industrial/organizational psychology?

Questions about gender differences in the workplace usually attract much attention-but often generate more heat than light. To examine gender differences in several facets of scientific productivity and impact, a quantitative, scientometric approach is employed. Analyzing a sample of industrial and organizational psychologists (N authors = 4234; N publications = 46,656), this study raises both questions and concerns about gender differences in research, by showing that female and male I-O psychologists differ with regard to publication output (fewer publications authored by female researchers), impact (heterogeneous, indicator-dependent gender differences), their publication career courses (male researchers' periods of active publishing last longer and show longer interruptions), and research interests (only marginal gender differences). In order to get a glimpse of future developments, we repeated all analyses with the student subsample and found nearly no gender differences, suggesting a more gender-balanced future. Thus, this study gives an overview over the status quo of gender differences in an entire psychological sub-discipline. Future research will have to examine whether these gender differences are volitional in nature or the manifestation of external constraints.

“…These variables capture the attributes of faculty members: gender, academic age and institutional sector. Past research suggests that gender has a strong impact on the development of coauthorship networks (Arensbergen et al 2012;Badar et al 2013;Barrios et al 2013;Borrego et al 2010;Sotudeh and Khoshian 2014) and their effect on research performance. Yet, the literature demonstrates contradictory findings with one stream reporting higher research performance for male researchers (Ledin et al 2007;Prpic 2002;Tower et al 2007;Stack 2004) while another stream reports higher research performance for female researchers (Arensbergen et al 2012;Barrios et al 2013;Borrego et al 2010).…”

Knowledge network centrality, formal rank and research performance: evidence for curvilinear and interaction effects

2015

This study explores the curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) association of three classical dimension of co-authorship network centrality, degree, closeness and betweenness and the research performance in terms of g-index, of authors embedded in a coauthorship network, considering formal rank of the authors as a moderator between network centrality and research performance. We use publication data from ISI Web of Science (from years 2002-2009), citation data using Publish or Perish software for years 2010-2013 and CV's of faculty members. Using social network analysis techniques and Poisson regression, we explore our research questions in a domestic co-authorship network of 203 faculty members publishing in Chemistry and it's sub-fields within a developing country, Pakistan. Our results reveal the curvilinear (inverted U-shaped) association of direct and distant co-authorship ties (degree centrality) with research performance with formal rank having a positive moderating role for lower ranked faculty.

The present study aims to study the research articles published in DESIDOC Journal of Library & Information Technology during 2008-2017 with a gender perspective. Influence of gender was assessed at individual and collaborative levels, professional engagement and citedness. The findings reveal increase in the overall presentation of male authors i.e. 401 (75.38 %) compared to female authors 131 (24.62 %) of total of 532 authors. 345 (64.85 %) are multiple authored articles compared to 187 (35.15 %) single authored papers. Collaborative pattern of malemale authors with 205 (38.83 %) articles, followed by articles contributed by male solo authors with 160 (30.08 %) authors, outnumbers all other collaborative authorship patterns. A chi square value of (x 2 = 11.801, p = 0.003) shows significant difference in the number of contributions by both male and female authors engaged in different LIS profession. The findings prove that men are over represented in the whole LIS community.
