Replication Data for: New Evidence for the Relative Scholarly Productivity of Male Versus Female Political Scientists

New Evidence on the Relative Scholarly Productivity of Male Versus Female Political Scientists Abstract Considerable prior research finds that male political scientists publish more research on average than do female political scientists. Yet the reasons for this difference are not entirely clear. Those findings may also over-estimate the relative productivity of men because they do not take account of the facts that more men have been in the profession for a longer time and thus have been publishing longer than women. For a prominent survey data set of political scientists we demonstrate notable cohort differences in the research productivity of both men and women across time. Our results also indicate that the overall greater productivity of men results in part from senior women scholars not generally enjoying the same benefits of long tenure on their research output as men do.
