The Study of Productivity Differences between Female and Male Researcher: Case Studies in Indonesian R & D Institutions - Volume 9 Number 2 ( May. 2019) - IJSSH

Abstract—This paper reviews gender issues in their productivity as researchers. By collecting researcher data from Indonesian R&D institution and the output they have produced (from google scholar), this paper explores the determinants of research productivity with evaluated scientific paper, citations, and h-index. In order to find out whether there is any significant difference between male and female productivity distributions or the issue of the gender gap, a Kruskal-Wallis test is used. By studying based on level of education and scientific fields, this paper finds that even though in terms of numbers, male researchers are still more than women, but when stratified by both academic degree and study field, there was enough evidence to conclude that no significant differences between publication productivity for men and women Index Terms—Female, gender, male, researcher, research productivity.
