Beschreibung:
Robert Leslie Fisher had a varied career in New York State government as a criminal justice planner, research contracts officer, program evaluator, and trainer before retiring in 2003. He is now an independent scholar whose research interests include organization studies in the health and criminal justice areas as well as program evaluation.
For over forty years, social scientists have noted and puzzled over the 'gender gap' in publication rates of academic scientists. In this study, the author, Robert L. Fisher, argues that men and women scientists differ in their 'problem choice process' and that this difference may be behind much of the difference in publication rates.
