Research on Gender Differences in Academic Paper Output of University Teachers Based on Human Capital and Social Capital Perspectives
Gender inequality in the scientific community is an important issue of concern in academia.Analyzing the current status and reasons for gender differences in academic paper output of university teachers is of great significance for promoting research output and the development of science and technology.Based on the resume information and academic paper output data of university teachers,this paper takes the major of computer science and technology as an example.It selects 7 584 papers published by 591 teachers from 27 universities in 14 computer science and technology journals indexed by CSCD.Starting from the perspectives of human capital and so-cial capital,the paper proposes research hypotheses and conducts regression analysis on the data to explore gender differences in aca-demic paper output of university teachers and the reasons.The study found that:First,in terms of academic paper output,there is a significant gender difference among university teachers in the major of computer science and technology,with male teachers outperfor-ming female teachers.Second,in terms of human capital,female teachers have a lower proportion of doctoral degrees and professor ti-tles than male teachers;in terms of social capital,female teachers have lower levels of social capital in structural,relational,and cog-nitive dimensions compared to male teachers.Third,there is no significant gender difference in the return of human capital on acade-mic paper output among university teachers,but there is a significant difference in the return of partial social capital on academic paper output.The research results provide suggestions for improving gender inequality in the field and serve as a reference for relevant policy making.
