The specific shapes of gender imbalance in scientific authorships: A network approach
作者：
Highlights：
• From empirical data, networks of scientific co-occurring subjects are defined.
• These networks show patterns associated to categories of authorships by gender.
• Network analysis is complemented with the construction of the corresponding MSTs.
• Emerging topological patterns uncover a trait of gender imbalance in scientific authorship.
• The male-exclusive authorship condition brings a particular shape to the MST.
