Gender differences in scientific performance: A bibliometric matching analysis of Danish health sciences Graduates

作者:

Highlights:

• Our study shows that there is practically no difference between men and women in the productivity measured as the number of articles published.

• We base our analysis on matching methods. Using this fine-grained analysis we found a much smaller difference between genders with respect to scientific productivity than previous studies.

• Furthermore, we found very little (and overall statistically insignificant) difference in the number of received citations between men and women.
