This article proposes a new composite measure of gender diversity for research teams that goes beyond simply ‘counting heads’. This measure adopts a more elaborated understanding of gender diversity than merely relying on the proportion of women and men, by taking into account the outcomes of gendered processes along seven grounds of diversity (age, care responsibilities, marital status, education, tenure, seniority, contractual position). Rather than focus on the individuals or the organisations, this measure is computed at the level of teams. This is because teams constitute a unit of analysis highly relevant to the context of higher education research but are often neglected. Illustrations of the results for STEM research teams are provided to show the potential uses of the Gender Diversity Index as a diagnostic tool (e.g. in certification schemes such as Athena SWAN in the UK and elsewhere), or to measure and report on the progress of gender change within higher education institutions.

本文为研究团队提出了一种新的性别多样性综合测度，该测度不仅限于“算账”。这项措施不仅考虑了男女的比例，还对性别多样性有了更详尽的了解，它考虑到了性别差异的七个方面的结果（年龄，照料责任，婚姻状况，教育，任期，资历，合同职位）。而不是关注个人或组织，此度量是在团队级别上计算的。这是因为团队构成了与高等教育研究背景高度相关的分析单元，但常​​常被忽略。提供了STEM研究小组的结果说明，以显示性别多样性指数作为诊断工具的潜在用途（例如，
