Abstract: By drawing on a large representative sample of German firms, we examine patterns and drivers of logistics innovation. We find that firm size, R&D intensity, product innovation, engagement in international markets, and competitive pressure are all positively related to the probability that a firm introduces logistics innovation and to the breadth of adoption across different types of logistics innovation. However, specific notable differences arise: digital logistics innovation is mainly adopted by larger firms and in response to cost and performance motives.

Resumen: En general, las científicas consiguen menos fondos para investigar y tienen, con respecto a los solicitantes, menores tasas de éxito que los hombres. Este artículo revisa críticamente la literatura sobre las disparidades y sesgos de género en la financiación de la investigación, reconociendo la diversidad de hallazgos, y poniendo el énfasis en la necesidad de clarificación conceptual y rigor metodológico.

Abstract. Criteria for assessing candidates are essential elements for the functioning of evaluation practices in academia. This article addresses a relevant issue of academia: the preference for evaluation criteria for tenure and promotion, as reported by female and male academics employed at Spanish universities. We use survey data from 4,460 faculty members, testing whether there are differences in the evaluation criteria that women and men prefer and exploring the factors that account for such preferences. Our focus is on bibliometric evaluation criteria.
