This is interesting. I can’t tell yet, but did they adjust for how many publications researchers had when they started their tenure track?
Is academia biased against women? This paper suggests otherwise. Among 1,345 Swedish academics, male faculty promoted to professor had 64%–80% more scientific publications, 42%–260% more citations, and a 72%–83% larger h-index than did female faculty. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/03075079.2020.1723533?needAccess=true …pic.twitter.com/czUdTSuvah

Looks like they included metrics from year of PhD to year before they became a professor.

Hmmm, what about the gazillion other papers showing gender discrimination in just about every type of occupation that exists? So curious about your motives with posting something like this...

1/n Yes I would definitely agree there is a vast literature suggesting women face many obstacles in the workplace. Academia is no exception. To be fair, I recognize these data are also in Sweden. Would this pattern be as strong in more gender traditional societies?

Is more publications better? Wondering if this is quantity over quality between the male and female publications
-
Not sure! How would you measure quality?

Yeah I can't imagine an analysis less suited to address a question. Total dumpster fire

Have to bear in mind: 1. This is Sweden, Queen of equality 2. Overlapping CI for all except linguistics 3. Measures used to show men are 'more qualified' are plausibly biased/male-oriented factors 4. Interesting to look at those who *didn't* achieve it + their characteristics!

Overlapping CI say nothing about statistically significant differences between groups:https://towardsdatascience.com/why-overlapping-confidence-intervals-mean-nothing-about-statistical-significance-48360559900a …
