Abstract: Academia has traditionally faced a substantial gender gap in staff positions and career path progression. Women do not advance up the academic career ladder in the same rate as men, with evidence of gender bias in hiring, earnings, funding, and recognition by means of prestigious awards.

Keywords: Gender bias; writing style; funding process; computational text analysis; diversity, equality and inclusion (search for similar items in EconPapers)
