• Buying science and selling science: gender differences in the market for commercial science (2007, background): “Recent quantitative studies suggest that over the past 35 years, female life science faculty have lagged dramatically behind their male colleagues in commercial science dimensions of their careers (Ding et al., 2005, 2006; Bunker Whittington and Smith-Doerr, 2005).”
• Why are women underrepresented amongst patentees (2013, background): “…for 31% of the gap, and the degree to which respondents’ jobs involve particular tasks accounting for at least another 13%: women are underrepresented in electrical and mechanical 4 Ding et al. (2006), Thursby and Thursby (2005), Whittington (2011), and Whittington and Smith-Doerr (2005, 2008).”
• Gender-specific patterns in patenting and publishing (2009, background): “Concerning patenting, the most interesting finding is that women entered the patenting system file at similar rates to men (Bunker-Whittington 2006: 29) – at least in the academic sector.”
