What makes a good scientist? : determinants of peer evaluation among biologists

Inhalt: "This study explores the criteria by which biologists in the United States evaluate their peers' scientific performance. Six distinguished biology professors rated forty-two former National Science Foundation Postdoctoral Fellows on the basis of the latter's CVs and bibliographies. The most powerful predictor of these quality judgements was the rated scientist's annual productivity rate: this explained more than 40% of the variance in the evaluators' judgements."

The origins of sex differences in science

Quelle: Social forces : an international journal of social research associated with the Southern Sociological Society, Vol. 68 (1990) No. 4, S. 1297-1315
Inhalt: "The sociology of science has clearly established the presence of sex differences in scientific productivity and position. This article examines the processes leading to the lower productivity of female scientists at the completion of their doctoral training. Collaboration with the mentor is found to be the most important factor affecting productivity. For females, opportunities for collaboration are significantly decreased by having young children. As a consequence, the presence of young children has an adverse, indirect effect on the productivity of female scientists during graduate study. This effect does not exist for males. In addition to differences in the process of collaboration, many small differences that disadvantage women and advantage men are found in the levels of resources affecting productivity and in the mechanisms by which resources are translated into productivity. The concentration of small disadvantages provides a further explanation of sex differences in productivity at the start of the career. Since early advantages and disadvantages have been found to accumulate, this article provides an essential first step in understanding sex differences in scientific productivity and position that emerge during the career."

Black women professor - white university
Autor/in:
McKay, Nellie
Quelle: Women's studies international forum, Vol. 6 (1983) No. 2, S. 143-147
Inhalt: "Black people, as a group, have been the victims of exclusion in almost all areas of the dominant American cultural life. Black women, in particular, have suffered because of race and sex. The result of these oppressions has been a general cultural silence and invisibility of all black people. Challenges to the racial status quo reached momentous dimensions in the 1960s, the era of the black revolution, and touched all areas of the national life in the U.S.A. However, when the smoke cleared, black women discovered that despite their efforts in the struggle, few of them reaped rewards. In the wake of the women's liberation movement that followed, the general consensus among women of color was that black meant black men and women meant white women. This is an unsatisfactory state of affairs, and one which black women have vowed to fight against. The university is one of the arenas for this confrontation. This paper looks at the experiences of one black woman in a prestigious Midwestern university and documents the nature of her experiences as a double minority. She voices the opinion that black women intend to struggle on to their rightful places in the academy. They can't go back, and they aim to stay." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Die Analyse der geringen Vertretung von Frauen in den Wissenschaften soll wohl Ausgangspunkt, aber nicht Thema der folgenden Ausführungen sein. Vielmehr geht es darum, die mangelnde Repräsentation von Frauen mit den Produktions-, Aneignungs- und Kommunikationsstrukturen der Wissenschaft zu verknüpfen. Dabei wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit Frauen "Exponentinnen eines neuen weiblichen Selbstverständnisses, das ihnen den Zugang zu ihrem Potential aktiver, selbstverantwortlicher Gestaltungsfähigkeit erleichtert" (Wiederkehr, 1980, 1) sind, und auch darüber nachgedacht, was die Einmischung von Frauen in die Wissenschaften für die Frauen einerseits,die Wissenschaft andererseits bedeutet."
