Abstract

We use data from 30 countries and find that the more women in a discipline, the lower quality the research in that discipline is evaluated to be and the lower the funding success rate is. This affects men and women, and is robust to age, number of research outputs, and bibliometric measures where such data are available. Our work builds on others’ findings that women’s work is valued less, regardless of who performs that work.

女性占主导地位的学科，无论男女，其评估研究质量和资助成功率都较低

我们利用来自 30 个国家的数据发现，一个学科中的女性人数越多，该学科的研究质量就越低，资助成功率也越低。这种情况对男性和女性都有影响，而且与年龄、研究成果数量和文献计量指标（如果有此类数据）密切相关。我们的研究建立在其他研究成果的基础上，这些研究成果表明，无论谁从事研究工作，妇女的工作价值都较低。
