2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行正在改变学术界的动态，同时应对远程工作和家庭需求（包括照顾孩子）的人们的生产力受到了影响。自疫情开始以来，女性作者的论文提交率一直在下降。妇女生产力下降的原因需要进一步调查。在这里，我们根据来自不同知识领域和研究机构的3345名巴西学者的调查，分析了性别、父母身份和种族对大流行期间学术生产力的影响。生产力是根据在巴西社会隔离的最初阶段按计划提交论文和按时完成任务的能力来评估的。研究结果显示，男性学者——尤其是那些没有孩子的——是受影响最小的群体，而黑人妇女和母亲则是受影响最大的群体。这些影响很可能是众所周知的男女家务劳动不平等分工的结果，这种情况在大流行病期间进一步加剧。此外，我们的研究结果强调，种族主义在学术界顽固存在，尤其是针对黑人女性。大流行将对受影响最严重群体的职业发展产生长期影响。本文提出的结果对于制定旨在避免进一步加深学术界性别差距的行动和政策至关重要。
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is altering dynamics in academia, and people juggling remote work and domestic demands – including childcare – have felt impacts on their productivity. Female authors have faced a decrease in paper submission rates since the beginning of the pandemic period. The reasons for this decline in women’s productivity need to be further investigated. Here, we analyzed the influence of gender, parenthood and race on academic productivity during the pandemic period based on a survey answered by 3,345 Brazilian academics from various knowledge areas and research institutions. Productivity was assessed by the ability to submit papers as planned and to meet deadlines during the initial period of social isolation in Brazil. The findings revealed that male academics – especially those without children – are the least affected group, whereas Black women and mothers are the most impacted groups. These impacts are likely a consequence of the well-known unequal division of domestic labor between men and women, which has been exacerbated during the pandemic. Additionally, our results highlight that racism strongly persists in academia, especially against Black women. The pandemic will have long-term effects on the career progression of the most affected groups. The results presented here are crucial for the development of actions and policies that aim to avoid further deepening the gender gap in academia.
