Social media has provided new opportunities for both female and male academics to disseminate their research results, and presence on the Internet is found to increase the visibility of scholars. Thus, this study examined whether there were differences in terms of scientific productivity or the visibility (both in terms of citations and social media metrics) of female and male scholars in the field of neurosurgery. To do this, 11,127 articles and reviews from 2012 to 2014 were extracted from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science database. This accounted for 14,944 unique authors. To study the visibility of neurosurgery scholars in terms of social media metrics, the following altmetric indicators were used: Mendeley readers, the post count of news, tweets, blogs, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The methodology and procedures employed included descriptive statistics, chi-square test, two-sample proportion test, and analysis of covariance. The results demonstrated that the number of female scholars was significantly lower compared to their male counterparts. Additionally, female neurosurgery scientists were found to be slightly less prolific in terms of scientific productivity. However, women were slightly more visible with regard to citations, readership, and tweets. Finally, both genders were similarly successful in terms of receiving mentions from blogs, news, Facebook, or LinkedIn.

核心神经外科杂志在科学生产力和知名度方面的性别差异:引文和社交媒体指标

社交媒体为男女学者提供了传播其研究成果的新机会,互联网上的存在被发现可以增加学者的知名度。因此,本研究检查了神经外科领域中男女学者在科学生产率或可见性(在引文和社交媒体指标方面)是否存在差异。为此,从Thomson Reuters的Web of Science数据库中提取了2012年至2014年的11,127篇文章和评论。这占14,944位独特的作者。为了研究神经外科学者在社交媒体指标方面的知名度,使用了以下altmetric指标:Mendeley读者,新闻帖数,推文,博客,LinkedIn和Facebook。所采用的方法和程序包括描述性统计,卡方检验,两样本比例检验和协方差分析。结果表明,女学者的数量明显少于男学者。另外,发现女性神经外科科学家的科学生产力稍差。但是,在引文,读者群和推文方面,女性更为明显。最后,就收到博客,新闻,Facebook或LinkedIn的提及而言,这两种性别都取得了类似的成功。研究发现,女性神经外科科学家的科学生产力稍差。但是,在引文,读者群和推文方面,女性更为明显。最后,就收到博客,新闻,Facebook或LinkedIn的提及而言,这两种性别都取得了类似的成功。研究发现,女性神经外科科学家的科学生产力稍差。但是,在引文,读者群和推文方面,女性更为明显。最后,就收到博客,新闻,Facebook或LinkedIn的提及而言,这两种性别都取得了类似的成功。
