Update. "We found that gendered male authors represented 60% of first and last authors, 65% of first and last authorships (FLAs), and 91% of highly productive authors (those with ≥ 10 FLAs). Last authorships were particularly male-dominated, with 2.7 times as many last authorships by gendered male authors as by gendered female authors." https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0352401 #Gender #GenderBias

Update. "There is no clear evidence of systemic gender differences in funding success rates. However…if funding rates do not show gender differences, there are still clear gender differences in the system overall, with women representing only 36% of all applicants. Moreover, the paper warns against concluding that gender bias is absent simply because funding rates appear equal." https://researchonresearch.org/new-rori-study-finds-no-gender-differences-in-funding-rates-but-warns-equal-numbers-can-mask-bias/ Primary source https://rori.figshare.com/articles/preprint/How_do_grant_application_criteria_influence_gender_differences_in_research_funding_RoRI_Working_Paper_No_22_/32881505 #Funding #Gender #GenderBias
