“…Lastly, the general increase of applications, irrespective of gender and the current pandemic situation, could also be due to an increase of people with doctoral degrees in Chile during the last years (Baeza, 2017;González, 2014).…”

Gender gaps are a problem in science, impeding the advancement of women. While some progress has been made in recent years, the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 could aggravate the gender gap even more, with female researchers taking on more responsibilities of care work and domestic labor than men while working from home. The present study analyzed the number of proposals submitted by women to the Chilean Young Investigator Grant (Fondecyt de Iniciación en Investigación) competition 2020, whose application period closed four weeks after the start of the lockdown in Chile. Compared to the years from 2010-2019, in which 35.6% of all proposals were submitted by women, in 2020 this percentage was 38.5%, and thus higher than usual. Women’s success rate in 2020 was 4.1 percentage points lower than that of male applicants, compared to an average gap of 2.3 percentage points in previous years, despite the implementation of a partly double-blind evaluation procedure in 2020. This might suggest that some of the women who submitted a proposal may have sent a non-finished or non-polished version, thereby increasing the likelihood of rejection, or that there was gender bias in evaluation. While the total share of female applicants increased in 2020, there was a decrease of applicants under 40 years, which may indicate that women with small children applied less than usual. These findings complement other evidence showing that the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 could aggravate the existing gender gap in science, but that the picture is more complex than previously assumed.

MANTEROLA, C.; OTZEN, T. ; CARTES-VELÁSQUEZ, R.; DEL SOL, M.; OLATE, S.; ROMERO, F. & ASTUDILLO, P.Initial results of a doctorate in medical sciences program in a regional university. Int. J. Morphol., 34(3):1169Morphol., 34(3): -1175Morphol., 34(3): , 2016. SUMMARY:The number of doctoral programs in the biomedical field has risen in recent decades, but with a concentration in Santiago and little expansion into the provinces. The aim of this article is to describe the initial results obtained by the Doctorate in Medical Sciences program of the Universidad de La Frontera, Chile. Observational study, conducted in the Department of Surgery at the Universidad de La Frontera, Chile. All cohorts in the program from 2008 to 2015 were included. The outcome variables were: Graduation rate and scientific productivity of the graduates (WoS and SciELO publications). Other variables of interest were: academic faculty productivity (WoS and SciELO publications), and characteristics of students who entered the program (age, sex, origin, profession, previous graduate training and number of years of formal university education). Descriptive statistics were applied. During the evaluation period, of a total of 17 qualified, 8 doctorates have been granted (1.6 per year), a graduation rate of 47.1 %. The research productivity for 2010-2015 was 14.1 publications per graduate (8.4 WoS and 5.7 SciELO) and 43.8 publications per academic (41.2 WoS and 2.6 SciELO). In the period, 55 professionals applied and 27 were accepted (49.1 % rate acceptance). Initial results of the Doctorate in Medical Sciences program of the Universidad de La Frontera, Chile are presented.

“…• Existencia de formularios y guías de evaluación actualizadas, así como un apoyo permanente hacia los programas de doctorado de parte de la Secretaría Ejecutiva de la CNA y los comités de área a lo largo de todo el proceso de acreditación. Actualmente, algunos desafíos para aumentar la calidad de los doctorados en Chile son: 1) mejorar las tasas de retención, deserción y graduación oportuna de sus estudiantes (Tornero et al, 2016); 2) aumentar la vinculación de los doctorados con el medio productivo (González y Jiménez, 2014;Walczak et al, 2017;Muga, 2018), y 3) asegurar la inserción laboral de los nuevos profesionales con grado de doctor (González y Jiménez, 2014). Sin embargo, Baeza (2017, p. 196) afi rma que …el 29% de los programas de doctorado nunca se han sometido a procesos de acreditación en todas las áreas del conocimiento, o no han logrado acreditar de acuerdo con los criterios de evaluación de la CNA, establecidos en la Resolución Exenta DJ N° 006-4 del año 2013.…”

El objetivo del estudio es analizar las características de los programas de doctorado en Educación impartidos en universidades chilenas, desde la perspectiva de los procesos de aseguramiento de la calidad, considerando un enfoque cualitativo de investigación, mediante un análisis de contenido y un muestreo no probabilístico por conveniencia, para examinar los acuerdos de acreditación otorgados a cada programa por la Comisión Nacional de Acreditación. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que en la mayoría de los casos analizados estos programas no se encuentran acreditados o poseen un nivel de acreditación bajo, asociado con debilidades y oportunidades de mejora, las cuales se deben implementar a corto y mediano plazo. En conclusión, resulta imprescindible avanzar en la implementación de la reciente obligatoriedad de acreditar los doctorados en Chile, debido a la relevancia social y la necesidad de consolidar el ámbito educativo como un campo científico de excelencia en Chile.
