  1. Gender differences in received citations among pairs of publications with validated similarity, both with and without a maximum difference of 3 years between publication times. The gender of a paper is defined by the gender of its last author, instead of that of its first author. The variables of the columns align with those from Table 1. p* is set to 0.001. See Supplementary Tables 8 and 9 for more details.
