“…This evidence is aligned with some recent international results on the study of network collaboration in the long term, where gender inequalities seem to be related to the lack of women in leadership positions (Bellotti et al, 2022). Furthermore, this phenomenon also echoes results in the postdoctoral hiring of STEMM fields, where hiring disparities correlate with between-group differences in applicants' network connections, referrer prestige, and academic human capital (Shauman and Huynh, 2023), and authors demonstrated that intergender collaboration increases male and decrease female scholar research performance (Shen et al, 2022). All in all, reflection on women in STEM has highlighted both phenomena as intervening in gender gaps in these areas of knowledge (UNESCO, 2017a,b;Thébaud and Charles, 2018).…”

Women’s insertion or consolidation in science has been thoroughly researched. Such discussion could be particularly relevant concerning sustainable development goal five (SDG 5) on Gender Equality advancement. However, the debate is focused on women percentages inserted into scientific labor, leaving the issue of symbolic experience for women in research unaddressed and with little empirical support. The data come from a survey developed under a FONDECYT project, which studied knowledge production in Chile. Researchers obtained contacts through invitations on social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn and databases containing scientists’ emails working in Chile. The non-probabilistic sample collected 583 cases, with participants residing in 15 of the 16 country regions. As a result, this document presents the findings of a study on symbolic experience using an instrument to determine whether there are any homophily patterns. It aims to determine if scientists tend to cite others as referents only when they encounter a situation like their own. The findings reveal a clear way scientists estimate the effect of others in terms of their gender homophily. This intervening factor could be crucial in reproducing the disparities and asymmetries that characterize Chile’s scientific field.

This paper analyzes the impact of the ongoing war in Ukraine on the productivity and collaboration networks of Ukrainian academics. As a case study, we analyze the publication patterns in open-access MDPI journals using bibliographic analysis methods and compare the research output published in 2022 with research papers published in the three preceding years (2019–2021) with at least one author having an Ukrainian affiliation. A total of 2365 publications were analyzed. The identified publication trends provide an interesting insight into the dynamics of the research network of Ukrainian researchers, which demonstrated a decline in diversity of international collaborations in 2022. The findings of this study emphasize the necessity of international research collaboration in a variety of fields in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of national crises and emergencies.

“…Nonetheless, networking and collaboration deserve attention because there is a careful balance for women researchers to aim at. On the one hand, inter-gender collaboration may benefit male researchers more than females, especially if the male authors are at high academic level ( 26 ), but on the other hand, outputs with male authors being either first or corresponding author are more likely to describe the results in positive terms, which in turn leads to higher downstream citations ( 15 ).…”
