Studies repeatedly find that women and men experience life in academia differently. Importantly, the typical female academic portfolio contains less research but more teaching and administrative duties. The typical male portfolio, on the other hand, contains more research but less teaching and administration. Since previous research has suggested that research is a more valued assignment than teaching in academia, we hypothesise that men will be ranked higher in the peer-evaluations that precede hirings to tenured positions in Swedish academia. We analyze 861 peer review assessments of applicants in 111 recruitment processes in Economics, Political Science, and Sociology at the six largest Swedish universities. Our findings confirm that the premises established in previous research are valid in Sweden too: Women have relatively stronger teaching merits and men relatively stronger research merits, and also that, on balance, research is rewarded more when applicants are ranked by reviewers. Accordingly, male applicants are ranked higher compared to female applicants.

研究反复发现，女性和男性在学术界的体验不同。重要的是，典型的女性学术档案包含较少的研究，但更多的教学和行政职责。另一方面，典型的男性作品集包含更多的研究，但较少的教学和管理。由于之前的研究表明研究是比学术界教学更有价值的任务，我们假设男性在瑞典学术界聘用终身职位之前的同行评估中排名更高。我们分析了瑞典六所最大大学在经济学、政治学和社会学领域的 111 个招聘流程中对申请人的 861 次同行评审评估。我们的研究结果证实，先前研究中建立的前提在瑞典也有效：女性在教学上的优势相对较强，男性在研究上的优势相对较强，而且总的来说，当申请者被审稿人排名时，研究得到的奖励更多。因此，男性申请人的排名高于女性申请人。
