女性研究人员的数量和质量：冰岛的文献计量研究

冰岛女性研究人员的产出，相对于男性而言，可以进行调查，因为她们的“姓氏”通常以“dottir”结尾，而男性的名字以“son”结尾。从1980年到2000年的21年间，女性和男性的产出比例从8%上升到30%左右。在生命科学领域（生物医学研究、生物学和临床医学），这一比例较高，但在有外国合著者的领域，这一比例较低，这表明女性通过旅行建立海外联系的能力较低。无论是用期刊影响类别还是用引用量来衡量，女性和男性研究产出的质量似乎没有差别。
The output of female researchers in Iceland, relative to that of males, can be investigated because typically their “surnames” end in“dottir” whereas the names of males end in “son”. Over the 21 years from 1980 to 2000, there has been a rise in female: male output from 8% to about 30%. It is higher in the life sciences (biomedical research, biology and clinical medicine) but lower where there is also foreign co-authorship, suggesting that females are less able to make overseas contacts through travel. There appears to be no difference in the quality of female and male research output, as measured either by journal impact categories or by citations.
