Abstrakt:

Women continue to be underrepresented in science, especially at the top level. There is also some evidence on gender differences in scientific productivity over the life cycle, but the empirical evidence is scarce, partially due to data limitations. This paper focuses on the careers of women and men in science in Poland and aims to verify whether there are gender differences in career paths and publications intensity in the years following the PhD defense. We utilize a unique digital data source on scientists’ career milestones (e.g., obtaining subsequent academic titles) and their publication records. Controlling for academic field, universities’ quality, and year of PhD defense, we first analyze gender gaps in timespan between obtaining subsequent academic titles. Adding to this picture information on publications, we also analyze whether total amount and quality of publications (as assessed using the rankings of journals) obtained before reaching a subsequent academic title is different for women and men.
