Abstract: Abstract The study aims to explore whether gender differences in the intellectual capital research exist. The differences are mainly investigated with reference to authorship patterns, research loyalty, productivity, trends of authorship patterns and productivity, research methodologies and research topic relevance. The investigation is carried out through an exploratory research approach. Consistent with it, data are mainly analyzed through descriptive statistics and tests of difference. The investigation takes into consideration the papers published in the Journal of Intellectual Capital from 2007 to 2016 (ten years). The total number of papers used is 340. The Journal of Intellectual Capital was chosen because it can be considered one of the leading journal of the intellectual capital research. Data used for the investigation are collected, in part, from the Scopus database and, in part, by reading the papers. The author gender was attributed manually, on the base of the author’ name. Main findings show that differences do not exist with reference to collaboration propensity and magnitude, research loyalty, average research productivity, research methodologies and research topic relevance. On the contrary, they show that a difference exists with reference to international collaboration propensity.
