dcterms.abstract | There has been considerable effort in the last decade to increase the participation of
women in engineering through various policies. However, there has been little empirical
research on gender disparities in engineering which help underpin the effective preparation,
co-ordination, and implementation of the science and technology (S&T) policies. This article
aims to present a comprehensive gendered analysis of engineering publications across different specialties and provide a cross-gender analysis of research output and scientific
impact of engineering researchers in academic, governmental, and industrial sectors. For
this purpose, 679,338 engineering articles published from 2008 to 2013 are extracted from
the Web of Science database and 974,837 authorships are analyzed. The structures of
co-authorship collaboration networks in different engineering disciplines are examined,
highlighting the role of female scientists in the diffusion of knowledge. The findings reveal
that men dominate 80% of all the scientific production in engineering. Women engineers
publish their papers in journals with higher Impact Factors than their male peers, but their
work receives lower recognition (fewer citations) from the scientific community. Engineers
—regardless of their gender—contribute to the reproduction of the male-dominated scientific structures through forming and repeating their collaborations predominantly with men.
The results of this study call for integration of data driven gender-related policies in existing
S&T discourse. | fr |
