Extended Data Table 3 Gender Difference in Attribution Rate by Job Title and Field

From: Women are credited less in science than men

  1. The table summarizes the share of actual and potential authorships that are women. The first column shows the percentage of actual authorships who are women. The second column shows the share of potential authorships who are women. The third column provides the effect size, defined as the difference in percentage points between the share of actual authorships and the share of potential authorships who are women. The fourth column displays the estimated standard error for those differences based on the bootstrapping procedure described in the Methods: Analytical Sample section. The last column provides the two-sided t-test statistic for the effect size being equal to zero using the bootstrap estimated standard error. To generate standard errors, we drew samples of people with replacement and calculated the difference in the share of women among actual and potential authors.
