等级的提升对学术科学家的职业生涯至关重要,而这一事件的高度可见性使其成为研究科学分层的理想选择。对晋升中普遍性因素的关注引发了对两个问题的辩论。首先,为什么女性科学家的晋升速度比男性科学家慢,为什么很少有人能达到正教授的级别?第二,促销是由出版作品的数量而不是质量驱动的吗?事件历史分析清楚地表明,在预测职位晋升方面,出版物的数量远比出版物质量的各种衡量标准重要;妇女晋升的可能性低于男子。这一性别差异中约有一半归因于影响晋升的变量水平的差异。其余的差异是由于预期晋升副教授的时间不同,以及系里的声望对妇女晋升正教授产生负面影响。
Advancement in rank is critically important to the career of an academic scientist, and the highly visible nature of the event makes it ideal for studying stratification in science. Concern with universalistic factors in promotion has prompted debates over two issues. First, why do female scientists advance more slowly than male scientists, and why do so few reach the rank of full professor? Second, is promotion driven by the sheer volume of published work as opposed to its quality? Event history analyses clearly indicate that quantity of publications is far more important than various measures of quality of publications in predicting rank advancement; and women are less likely to be promoted than men. About one-half of this sex difference is attributable to differences in levels of variables affecting promotion. Remaining differences are a result of differences in expected timing of promotion to associate professor and to the negative effects of department prestige on promotion to full professor for women.
