我分析了从1970年至今全球基础物理学的文献计量学数据，提取了有关性别问题的定量数据。我没有发现显著的性别差异在雇用率，雇用时间，职业差距和放缓，放弃率，引用，和自我引用模式。此外，各种文献计量学指标（部分计数的论文数量，引文等）在招聘时，在职业水平上表现出生产力差距，而没有整合职业生涯。在考虑了混杂因素后，这种差距仍然存在，表现为在文献计量指标方面，男性作者从平均水平上升到顶级作者的比例越来越大，其数量形状可以通过较高的男性变异性来拟合。
I analyze bibliometric data about fundamental physics worldwide from 1970 to now, extracting quantitative data about gender issues. I do not find significant gender differences in hiring rates, hiring timing, career gaps and slowdowns, abandonment rates, citation, and self-citation patterns. Furthermore, various bibliometric indicators (number of fractionally counted papers, citations, etc.) exhibit a productivity gap at hiring moments, at career level, and without integrating over careers. The gap persists after accounting for confounding factors and manifests as an increasing fraction of male authors going from average to top authors in terms of bibliometric indices, with a quantitative shape that can be fitted by higher male variability.
