Gender differences in the research productivity of natural and social scientists

The paper presents bibliometric research of WoS-indexed productivity from 1996 to 2005 of all Croatian natural and social scientists who hold a doctorate. Gender differences are significant in the natural sciences, as opposed to the social sciences, which show much smaller WoS production and visibility. When a minimal set of productivity predictors was used, there was no significant impact of gender on publications and citations in the social sciences, while a small but significant impact was found in the natural fields. In the latter area, the influence of gender disappears when the number of publications is added to the predictors of citations.
