“…However, even after accounting for career-stage differences, approximately 2% of the variation in citation impact was accounted for by gender and race/ethnicity. This adds to a growing literature across disciplines examining group differences in scientific impact by gender (Boice, Shaughnessy, & Pecker, 1985;Cole & Singer, 1991;Gonzalez-Brambila & Veloso, 2007;Haslam et al, 2008;Helmreich, Spence, Beane, Lucker, & Matthews, 1980;Joy, 2006;Long, 1992;Sandström, 2009;Xie & Shauman, 1998) and race/ethnicity (Blackburn, Wenzel, & Bieber, 1994;Clemente, 1974;del Carmen & Bing, 2000;Elmore & Blackburn, 1983;Freeman, 1978;Greenwald & Schuh, 1994;Nettles, Perna, & Bradburn, 1995;Rafky, 1972;Wanner, Lewis, & Gregorio, 1981). In total, the data on gender and race/ethnicity differences in citation impact suggests that the gaps are real, perhaps small, and the full explanation is still unknown.…”

Number of citations and the h-index are popular metrics for indexing scientific impact. These, and other existing metrics, are strongly related to scientists' seniority. This article introduces complementary indicators that are unrelated to the number of years since PhD. To illustrate cumulative and career-stage approaches for assessing the scientific impact across a discipline, citations for 611 scientists from 97 U.S. and Canadian social psychology programs are amassed and analyzed. Results provide benchmarks for evaluating impact across the career span in psychology and other disciplines with similar citation patterns. Career-stage indicators provide a very different perspective on individual and program impact than cumulative impact, and may predict emerging scientists and programs. Comparing social groups, Whites and men had higher impact than non-Whites and women, respectively. However, average differences in career stage accounted for most of the difference for both groups.

A comparison of black and white professors' engagement in the service component of faculty work

Faculty diversity is critical for higher education excellence. Yet, faculty demographics are not proportionally representative of the race/ethnic and gender diversity seen in the general population. Two factors that may contribute to the limited diversity are distinctions in the time minority and "majority" faculty spend on professorial roles (particularly the service role) and the unequal weight awarded to different faculty roles in the promotion and tenure process.The purpose of this study was to investigate the community/professional service time allocation by black and white faculty members in higher education institutions. The following research questions were explored: The research questions were examined using data from the 1999 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:99). The NSOPF:99 data represents "all public and private not-for-profit Title IV-participating, degree-granting, institutions in the 50 states and the District of Columbia" (U.S. Department of Education, 2002, p. iii). The study had six independent variables (Carnegie Classification of institution, academic rank, tenure status, academic discipline, gender, and race) and one dependent variable (service). An analysis of variance was used to examine the possible relationships between the independent variables and dependent variables.The results showed that, overall, black faculty members spend a greater percentage of time on service than their white counterparts. Additionally, black faculty members prefer to do more service than their white colleagues. Generally, white faculty members are performing a preferred amount of service while black faculty members are doing more service than preferred. The notable exception to the trends reported is among white health sciences faculty, who reported the highest percentages of time both spent on service and preferred on service of any disciplinary cohort in this study.
