在最近的工作中，Teele和Thelen（2017）记录了女性撰写的奖学金在广泛选择的政治学期刊中的代表性不足。为了更好地理解这些模式，我们提出了2017年春季对政治科学家进行的一项原创的个人层面调查的结果。证实Teele和Thelen的推测，我们的证据表明，论文提交率的差异是论文发表的性别差异的基础，这一模式在该学科排名前三的期刊中尤为明显。利用原始调查项目，我们寻求对提交差距的解释，发现方法专业化和对出版策略的态度都起着作用。重要的是，我们还得出结论，男性和女性在合著方面的投资获得了不同的回报：尽管男性和女性受访者报告的合著倾向相同，但合著对男性提交和发表率的促进作用比女性更大。我们讨论了我们的发现对正在进行的关于政治科学中不平等的对话的影响。
In recent work, Teele and Thelen (2017) documented the underrepresentation of female-authored scholarship in a broad selection of political science journals. To better understand these patterns, we present the results of an original, individual-level survey of political scientists conducted in the spring of 2017. Confirming Teele and Thelen's speculation, our evidence indicates that differences in submission rates underlie the gender gap in publicationa pattern particularly pronounced for the discipline's top three journals. Leveraging original survey items, we pursue explanations of the submission gap, finding that both methodological specialization and attitudes toward publication strategies play roles. Importantly, we also conclude that men and women obtain differential returns on their investments in coauthorship: although male and female respondents report identical propensities to coauthor, coauthorship boosts submission and publication rates more strongly for men than women. We discuss the implications of our findings for ongoing conversations about inequality in political science.
