Gendered patterns in the occupation of the journal prestige-productivity plane. (a) Occupation fraction of career years of male (purple) and female (green) researchers in different sectors of the plane, compared with the overall gender prevalence of career years (first bar and dashed line). Numbers above the bars indicate the total percentage of career years per sector, while numbers within the bars denote the gender-specific occupation fractions. (b) Excess of career years of male (purple) and female (green) researchers in each sector relative to a null model in which gender is randomly shuffled across all career years. Error bars indicate 95% confidence intervals from 1,000 realizations of the null model. (c) Productivity gap, defined as the difference between the average productivity of female and male researchers within each sector. (d) Journal prestige gap, defined as the difference between the average journal prestige of female and male researchers within each sector. Error bars in panels (c) and (d) represent 95% bootstrap confidence intervals.
