Abstract
This study investigates the effect of scientific position, service tenure, and age of women scientists of various research laboratories of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India on the research productivity. Drawing on a sample of 902 women scientists of various research laboratories, with their 22,617 publications extracted from Web of Science & Scopus databases, the results show that CSIR scientists have more women per laboratory, DST women scientists have more publication per scientists and DBT women scientists received more citations. The majority of the publications were published by scientists who have post-doctoral or doctorate degrees and most of the papers were published by the women scientists between age 31 and 40. However, per scientist publication reveals that there is a continuous increase of publication with the increase of service and physical age. Therefore, better funding opportunities for young researchers and retaining experienced women scientists for more years may be important to increase women's participation in science.
本研究调查了印度政府科技部各研究实验室女科学家的科学职位、服务年限和年龄对研究生产力的影响。对来自不同研究实验室的902名女科学家,以及从Web of Science & Scopus数据库中提取的22,617篇论文的样本进行了分析,结果表明,CSIR的女科学家每个实验室的女性比例更高,DST的女科学家每个实验室的女性比例更高,DBT的女科学家获得的引用次数更多。发表论文的大部分是拥有博士后或博士学位的科学家,发表论文的大部分是年龄在31岁至40岁之间的女性科学家。然而,每位科学家的出版物显示,随着服务年限和身体年龄的增加,出版物持续增加。因此,为年轻科学家提供更好的资助机会,并让有经验的女科学家留任更长时间,对于增加女性对科学的参与可能是重要的。
