Purpose

This study explores faculty members' outputs and citations by gender and academic rank in Israeli academia. The study focuses on the connection between research productivity and underrepresentation of women in academia. To this end, four fields were chosen, each representing a different discipline: Psychology (social sciences), Public Health (health sciences), Linguistics (humanities), and Chemistry (Exact sciences).

Design/methodology/approach

The name, the rank and the gender of the researchers were collected from the researchers' websites and those of their departments. The number of publications and citations were retrieved from Scopus.

Findings

Findings revealed that there is a significant difference between the median number of men and women in Chemistry concerning publications and citations and in Psychology concerning citations. Moreover, in all four disciplines, females' average number of publications was lower than that of males', and that in three out of the four disciplines (Psychology, Public Health and Chemistry), men published more in top journals (the top 5%) than females, while the reverse was true of Linguistics. Furthermore, in three disciplines (Public Health, Linguistics and Chemistry), there is an increase in the average citations per female researchers between 2015 and 2019. Further, in all disciplines, women collaborated more than men.

Originality/value

As only a few studies in Israel have explored faculty members' outputs and citations, this study contributes and enlarges the Israeli research concerning this topic.

以色列学术界的性别差异：不同学科的文献计量分析

目的

这项研究按性别和学术等级，探索了教职员工的产出和引文。这项研究的重点是研究效率与学术界女性代表性不足之间的联系。为此，选择了四个领域，每个领域代表不同的学科：心理学（社会科学），公共卫生（健康科学），语言学（人文科学）和化学（精确科学）。

设计/方法/方法

研究人员的姓名，职级和性别是从研究人员的网站及其所属部门收集的。出版物和引文的数量来自Scopus。

发现

研究结果表明，在化学方面，出版物和引文与心理学上的中位数男女之间存在显着差异。此外，在所有四个学科中，女性的平均出版数量均低于男性，在四个学科（心理学，公共卫生和化学）中的三个学科中，男性在顶级期刊上的出版物数量更多（排名前5％） ）比女性多，而语言学则相反。此外，在三个学科（公共卫生，语言学和化学）中，2015年至2019年间，每位女性研究人员的平均被引次数有所增加。此外，在所有学科中，女性的合作程度均高于男性。

创意/价值

由于以色列只有很少的研究探索了教师的产出和引文，因此这项研究为以色列在该主题上的研究做出了贡献并扩大了研究范围。
