Abstract: The establishment of science is a very recent event in most of 
the countries located in the south hemisphere. Training human resources 
for scientific and technological activities seems to be a means to reduce 
the scientific and technological gap between the two hemispheres. In this 
process, human diversity, including gender, may play an important role. 
This study presents data on the scientific publication output of male and 
female scientists from Brazil. Our aim is to identify some publishing 
trends, which may contribute to the debate on consequences that emerge 
from the imbalance between males and females participation in the 
scientific community, including administrative positions in academia.
