Fecha
Abstract. Promotion is a key reward in academic science normatively associated with performance. Women are underrepresented in science across most countries, particularly in senior roles. Our study investigates the role of merit and several other factors in the promotion to full professor and senior researcher in public scientific institutes, and whether differences between women and men exist.
