Abstract:
Research on scholarly productivity in science has consistently found that
women scientists publish only 5060 percent as many scholarly papers as men.
Common limitations of this work include a focus on the hard sciences to the
neglect of other fields and lack of controls for type of location or
employment. This study contributed to the literature by investigating a
soft science (criminal justice) and focusing on a particular location:
scientists in tenure track, academic positions. Further, it was contended
that females were more integrated into the male research networks in
criminal justice than in the hard sciences. This greater integration should
narrow the gap between male and female productivity. Data were based on
eighty-nine faculty in Master's-level criminal justice departments. The
results of a multiple regression analysis indicated that gender was not
significantly associated with either the number of articles or the impact
(citations) of scholarly work. The leading predictors of scholarly
productivity included faculty rank and year of PhD. The full model
explained 37 percent of the variance in article production and 44 percent
of the variance in scholarly impact. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All
