“…However, previous studies have concluded that male faculty members tend to publish more than female ones (Sax et al 2002). Prpic (1996) clarified that a highly remarkable variable in research productivity is getting a PhD. Smeby and Try (2005) discovered that those teachers who hold PhD degrees have the greatest impact on research productivity.…”

The purpose of this research is to analyze the relationship between individual, institutional and demographic characteristics on one hand and the research productivity of agriculture faculty members on the other. The statistical population of the research comprises 280 academic staff in agricultural faculties all over Tehran Province. The data regarding research productivity and demographic characteristics were extracted from the faculty members' profiles. Questionnaires were utilized to collect information concerning individual and institutional variables. The reliably of the questionnaire was calculated to be between 0.74 and 0.97 using the Cronbach's Alpha. The regression analysis revealed that from among demographic characteristics two variables, namely, academic rank and age (R 2 AD = 0.265), among individual characteristics, three variables, namely, working habits, creativity as well as autonomy and commitment (R 2 AD = 0.097), and among institutional characteristics four variables namely, network of communication with colleagues, resources of facilities, corporate management and clear research objectives (R 2 AD = 0.151) were significant predictors for agricultural faculty members' research productivity.

“…Sin embargo existen diferencias signifi cativas en la capacidad de producción de trabajos, ya que las mujeres en todas las áreas analizadas presentan un menor número de trabajos que los hombres. Esta situación en las Ciencias Sociales españolas es similar a la señalada en estudios anteriores (Cole, 1984;Schiebinger, 1993;Prpic, 1996;Valian, 1999;Kaplan y otros, 1996;Tower y otros, 2007). Esta menor productividad, que es un fenómeno que se produce también en otras áreas y países, se ha tratado de explicar a través de diferentes factores socioculturales como la responsabilidad en las cargas familiares (Kyvik y Teigen, 1996;Xie y Shauman, 1999;Rothausen-Vange y otros, 2005) o factores más relacionados con el entorno académico como los apuntados por Webster (2001) según el cual las mujeres dedican mayor tiempo a la docencia comparada con los hombres.…”

Resumen: Se presenta un estudio bibliométrico cuyo objetivo es analizar la productividad y la citación de las investigadoras en las Ciencias Sociales y Jurídicas en España en el marco de las revistas científi cas nacionales. Como fuente de información se han empleado los rankings de investigadores/as presentes en el Índice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Sociales (INRECS) y el Índice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Jurídicas (INRECJ). El estudio analiza 11 disciplinas científi -cas diferentes y la muestra fi nal de investigadores/as extraídos de dichos rankings ha sido de 3.370 de las que el 30 % eran mujeres. Para estudiar las diferencias de géneros se han seleccionado y analizado cuatro variables: el número de trabajos publicados, el número de citas obtenidas, número de citas internacionales y el promedio de citas. Los resultados muestran como las mujeres en las 11 áreas analizadas tienen una menor productividad así como un menor número de citas bruto. Por otro lado las mujeres en diversas áreas sí obtienen un mayor número de citas internacionales y en casi todas alcanzan promedios de citas mayores. Sin embargo aún es escasa la presencia de las mujeres en los rankings y en la élite científi ca española.

The present study investigated the relationship between the use of different internet applications and research productivity, controlling for other influences on the latter. The control variables included dummies for country, discipline, gender and type of organization of the respondent; as well as variables for age, recognition, the degree of society-related and careerrelated motivation for research, and the size of the collaboration network. Simple variance analyses and more complex negative binomial hurdle models point to a positive relationship between internet use (for personal communication, information retrieval and information dissemination) and research productivity. However, the results should be interpreted with caution as it was not possible to test the role of the internet against other pre-internet tools which fulfil the same functions. Thus instance it may not be the use of e-mail per se, but the degree of communicating with colleagues that makes a productive scientist.
