The gender gap in science: How long until women are equally represented?
Luke Holman, Devi Stuart-Fox, Cindy E. Hauser
PLOS Biology (2018-04-19) https://doi.org/gdb9db

From https://lukeholman.github.io/genderGap/

The data were collected by downloading all the ~27 million records on PubMed, and attempting to identify the gender of the authors by matching their given names against the genderize.io database. We assigned each of the journals on PubMed to a research discipline, using PubMed's own categorisation scheme where possible, and tried to identify the country in which each author was based from the address they provided. For clarity, the data accessible through this web app are limited to combinations for which we had a sufficiently large sample size in terms of the number of papers (at least 100), years (at least 5), and authors (at least 50 per year for 5 or more years).

The extent and drivers of gender imbalance in neuroscience reference lists
Jordan D. Dworkin, Kristin A. Linn, Erin G. Teich, Perry Zurn, Russell T. Shinohara, Danielle S. Bassett ArXiV (2020-01-03) https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.01002
arxiv: arXiv:2001.01002

Reference lists tend to include more papers with men as first and last author than would be expected if gender was not a factor in referencing.

Overcitation of men and undercitation of women is driven largely by the citation practices of men, and is increasing with time despite greater diversity in the academy.

Public Discussion Affects Question Asking at Academic Conferences Natalie Telis, Emily C. Glassberg, Jonathan K. Pritchard, and Chris Gunter AJHG (2019) DOI: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2019.06.004

women ask fewer questions than expected regardless of their representation in talk audiences

Gender differences in peer review outcomes and manuscript impact at six journals of ecology and evolution Charles W. Fox, C. E. Timothy Paine Ecology and Evolution (2019) DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4993

papers with female authors were cited less often than those with male authors

papers with a female corresponding author obtained significantly lower review scores.

Historical comparison of gender inequality in scientific careers across countries and disciplines Junming Huang, Alexander J. Gates, Roberta Sinatra, and Albert-László Barabási PNAS (2020) DOi: 10.1073/pnas.1914221117

men and women publish at a comparable annual rate and have equivalent career-wise impact for the same size body of work.

differences in publishing career lengths and dropout rates explain a large portion of the reported career-wise differences in productivity and impact, although productivity differences still remain.
