Dismantling Systemic Barriers to Advancement
Harvard UP, 2023
Sobre o que é?
This thorough study proves that women scientists receive less pay and less credit for their work than men.
Recommendation
Professors Cassidy R. Sugimoto and Vincent Larivière present a data-packed study of the global gender divide in science, highlighting barriers hampering women. Based on quantitative analysis of millions of published articles across various disciplines, the authors reveal that women are consistently shortchanged on funding and crucial accolades, including awards, authorship credits and citations. Armed with empirical data, Sugimoto and Larivière suggest several solutions and urge male scientists, journal editors, grant funders and the scientific community to include women more systematically.
