Sex Differences in Academic Rank and Publication Rate at Top-Ranked US Neurology Programs

The following study of 1712 academic neurologists, published in JAMA Neurology, analyzes the proportion of male versus female neurologists at each academic faculty rank, and how the number of publications differ between sexes at each rank. Findings show that men outnumbered women at all academic faculty ranks, and the discrepancy increased with advancing rank. After adjusting for years since medical school graduation, men had a significantly larger number of publications than women at all academic ranks, but the disparity in publication number decreased with advancing rank.
