The study presented here aims at bringing a global perspective to the phenomenon of unequal representation of females in science by offering empirical data of female representation in neuroscience/schizophrenia academic or clinical departments in several institutions around the world. We took advantage of a budding network of scientists and colleagues from different countries to bring the data together. The data presented are related to sex, that is the biological distinction between males and females, based on genetics and reproductive anatomy, while gender, considered a cultural concept was harder to determine. We report data from two clinical/academic departments in Nigeria, Africa; 2 clinical/academic departments from Sudan, Africa; 1 clinical/academic department from South Africa, Africa; 3 academic institutions from Ireland, Europe; 1 clinical/academic institution from Spain, Europe; 2 academic institutions from Buenos Aires University, Argentina; and the Psychiatry Departments at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA.
本研究旨在通过提供来自世界各地多个机构的神经科学/精神分裂症学术或临床部门中女性代表性的实证数据，为女性在科学界代表性不足的现象带来全球视角。我们利用一个由来自不同国家的科学家和同事组成的新兴网络将数据汇集在一起。所呈现的数据与生物学上的性别差异有关，即基于遗传学和生殖解剖学的男性和女性之间的生物学区别，而性别则被认为是一个文化概念，更难确定。我们报告了来自非洲尼日利亚的两个临床/学术部门、非洲苏丹的两个临床/学术部门、非洲南非的一个临床/学术部门、来自爱尔兰的三个学术机构、来自欧洲西班牙的一个临床/学术机构、来自阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的两个学术机构，以及来自美国波士顿哈佛医学院的精神病学系的数据。
