“…Recent studies in Chemistry (Alves, Yanasseb & Somac, 2014), Odontology (Cavalcante et al, 2008), Physical Education (Leite et al, 2012), Veterinary Medicine (Spilki, 2013) and Medicine (Melo & Casemiro, 2003; Mendes, Martelli & Souza Filho, 2010; Martelli-Junior et al, 2010) show that PSH researchers are predominantly men (60–76%). In these areas, men also receive the majority (around 56%) of Category 2 grants.…”

Despite significant progress, there is still a gender gap in science all over the world, especially at senior levels. Some progressive countries are recognizing the need to address barriers to gender equality in order to retain their best scientists and innovators, and ensure research excellence and social and economic returns on the investment made by taxpayers each year on training women scientists. We investigated the gender distribution of: (i) the productivity scholarship (PS) holders of the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico, CNPq, N = 13,625), (ii) the members of the Brazilian Academy of Science (Academia Brasileira de Ciências, ABC, N = 899), and (iii) the amount of funding awarded for top quality research (“Universal” Call of CNPq, N = 3,836), between the years of 2013 and 2014. Our findings show evidence for gender imbalances in all the studied indicators of Brazilian science. We found that female scientists were more often represented among PS holders at the lower levels of the research ranking system (2). By contrast, male scientists were more often found at higher levels (1A and 1B) of PS holders, indicating the top scientific achievement, both in “Engineering, Exact Sciences, Earth Sciences”, and “Life Sciences”. This imbalance was not found in Humanities and Social Sciences. Only 14% of the ABC members were women. Humanities and Applied Social Sciences had a relatively low representation of women in the Academy (3.7%) compared to Engineering, Exact and Earth Sciences: 54.9% and Life Sciences: 41.4%. Finally, female scientists obtained significantly more funding at the lower level of the research ranking system (2), whereas male scientists obtained significantly more funding at the higher levels (1A and 1B). Our results show strong evidence of a gender imbalance in Brazilian science. We hope that our findings will be used to stimulate reforms that will result in greater equality in Brazilian science, and elsewhere.

“…Um primeiro estudo sobre o perfil dos bolsistas de Produtividade em Pesquisa (PQ) da área de Química do CNPq foi publicado em 2010 por Santos et al 1 Em outro estudo, 2 Alves et al fizeram uma reavaliação do perfil dos bolsistas PQ do CNPq, da área de Química no Brasil, de acordo com as informações contidas na Plataforma Lattes. Foi considerada a produção científica de 695 bolsistas em 10 anos (2002 a 2011), utilizando uma linguagem automática de extração dos dados que foi desenvolvida pelos autores.…”

In this paper, we analyzed the co-authorship network between all CNPq’s productivity research fellows in the Probability and Statistics area in Brazil. Our aim was to describe and to understand how network measures influence researchers’ productivity. The data was gathered from the CNPq’s Lattes Platform using the software scriptLattes, and a link between two fellows represents the fact that they wrote an article together from 2009 to 2013. The network is disconnected and has only 4.7% of its possible connections. Through a regression analysis, we were able to infer that the centrality positions of an author matters to his/her productivity. As expected, closeness centrality had a negative effect on fellows’ productivity, while the degree centrality had a positive effect.
