Gender difference in publication among recent OR/MS sci-entific publications in top journals (original) (raw)
In this paper, we undertake a statistical analysis that uses Estimation Theory in order to measure the participation of women as authors (or co-authors) in top publications in the fields of Operations Research and Management Sciences in recent years. Our results are based on a survey of articles published in top international journals between 2008 and 2013. Our findings show that the participation of women is much lower than their male counterparts. Moreover, we further analyze the papers in our survey in order to obtain insights regarding other aspects such as the subjects in which women tend to focus the most. We also discuss some potential implications of our findings along with future research directions.
