GENDER-RELATED DIFFERENCES IN SCIENTIFIC COLLABORATION DEPEND ON WORKING CONDITIONS

The presented study examines differences in data sharing and scientific working behaviour between male and female researchers. To understand the context of our study, it has to be said that articles and data – as the raw material for non-theoretical publications – are crucial for an individual researcher’s career development. Examining the data sharing behaviour is therefore a good proxy to examine differences in male and female working behaviour in a competitive environment. Our study is based on a survey among 1321 (mainly German) researchers. Overall our results suggests that the working conditions in the form of gender distribution and relevance of research data in different scientific fields are better predictors for sharing behaviour than the gender of the individual researcher. Furthermore, the findings provide first insights in the complex underlying factors of gender equality in science that should be addressed by future research.
