We use data from 30 countries and find that the more women in a discipline, the lower quality the research in that discipline is evaluated to be and the lower the funding success rate is. This affects men and women, and is robust to age, number of research outputs, and bibliometric measures where such data are available. Our work builds on others' findings that women's work is valued less, regardless of who performs that work.
我们使用了来自 30 个国家的数据，发现一个学科中的女性人数越多，该学科的研究质量评价就越低，资金成功率也越低。这一现象影响到了男性和女性，并且在年龄、研究成果数量以及在有此类数据的情况下使用文献计量学衡量标准时都具有稳健性。我们的工作建立在其他人的研究基础上，即无论由谁来完成工作，女性的工作都被低估了。
