Re: [LIS-Forum] Women and publication patterns

How it can be termed as partiality or prejudice? Considering the number of men who publish, the percentage of women authors is very small (7-8%) and it varies from country to country, and among different subjects. How can anyone compare such variables; it is meaningless. Gender inequality is applicable for common practices. Dr M Koteswara Rao Former librarian, UoH

This is a revelation and unexpected! As 'man' is a part of 'woman', literally, how can men be so partial and prejudiced?

The researchers’ findings indicate that this problem is most persistent in papers authored by men." ///
