Male scientists portray their studies as “unprecedented,” “remarkable,” “excellent” and “novel” more often than female scientists, a new study finds, which may contribute to gender differences in pay and promotion in the medical world.
The study, published Monday in the British Medical Journal, analyzed more than 6.2 million articles published in journals between 2002 and 2017.
schaackmobile I think you’re remarkable and unprecedented and novel!
They also cite their own work more. This is not new. Learned about it 10-15 years ago when I was in grad school.
exaggerated. Raise your hand if you've have more female professors than male in your science training, medical or otherwise
I think this extends way beyond just published work 🤣
So males are better at promoting their work?
whereisdaz Was the word 'exaggerate' too hard to remember?
Adjectives are free game. Didnt you hear? Anyone can use them!
Lmao so dumb
This story is unprecedented, remarkable and novel.
We talking physics or chemistry or other hard sciences? My guess that they are not. Social science is probably the culprit here.
Whoops forgot to add “white” at the beginning of the sentence.
Or good work.
So, we are at the point where the pay /promotion gap between genders is an adjectives fault. I always knew adjectives were racist woman haters. Or are they innocent, and their superlative is being exploited at the comparatives expense.
Yeaaaah
Main stream media probably got guidelines saying 30% of the articles per day have to be about some gender theme
Maybe because they perform better on average... 🤷🏼♂️
But...liberals said there are more than 50 genders.
Men have Jonas Salk and women have Elizabeth Holmes.
Shocking!
The wage gap doesn’t exist! How many times do we have to go over this 🙄
