Thanks Andrew! Mike Thelwall's latest paper as to whether females create higher impact research is very interesting. From the abstract: "Although female-authored research is less cited in Turkey (-4.0%) and India (-3.6%), it is marginally more cited in Spain (0.4%), the UK (0.4%), and the USA (0.2%). Female-authored research has fewer Mendeley readers in India (-1.1%) but more in Spain (1.4%), Turkey (1.1%), the UK (2.7%) and the USA (3.0%). Thus, whilst there may be little practical gender difference in citation impact in countries with mature science systems, the higher female readership impact suggests a wider audience for female-authored research." These findings are different to previous studies where female-authored research was found to be less well-cited. Methodology is all though, I guess.

Scopus citations and Mendeley readers for articles from five countries" (today) https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.01255 - Thelwall et al, "Gender differences in research areas and topics: An analysis of publications in 285 fields" (August, now in Journal of Informatics - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S175115771830258X) The methodology in both cases seems to be about the same as the Science-Metrix approach (first names with probable strong gender association). Interestingly there's some quantification of how many authors can't be easily identified - in the more recent paper, it's about 45% of (US) lead authors.

Around 14 mins in it talks about gender. https://www.force11.org/media/video/keynote-talk-structural-disruptions-reward-system-science She doesn't go in to how they went about this, but perhaps this has been shared in other outputs for this work.

Sahar, could we add this report to The Bibliomagician Resources page and/or the blog post on identifying gender??

'In terms of output, the analysis by the company provided the best-estimate of every author’s gender for each publication in my query. The analysis wasn’t perfect however as some results returned unisex (U) or unknown (X) genders for some authors. They did send me a helpful document about how the algorithm assigns gender, including its limitations (http://www.science-metrix.com/en/publications/reports#/en/gender-report).'
