Roksa, Josipa; Wang, Yapeng; Feldon, David; Ericson, Matthew – Journal of Diversity in Higher Education, 2022
Despite increased enrolment of women and students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups in doctoral programs, notable inequalities in academic careers persist. We investigate one potential source of these inequalities: publication rates during graduate school. Results, based on a sample of doctoral students in biological sciences across 53…
