| Abstract | Scientific communities need to understand and eliminate barriers that
prevent people with diverse backgrounds from contributing to and
participating in science. However, the combined impact of individuals’
linguistic, economic, and gender backgrounds on their scientific
productivity is poorly understood. Using a survey of 908 environmental
scientists, we show that being a woman is associated with up to a 45%
reduction in the number of English-language publications, compared to
men. Being a woman, a non-native English speaker, and from a low-income
country is associated with up to a 70% reduction, compared to male
native English speakers from a high-income country. The linguistic and
economic productivity gap narrows when based on the total number of
English- and non-English-language publications. We call for an explicit
effort to consider linguistic, economic, and gender backgrounds and
incorporate non-English-language publications when assessing the
performance and contribution of scientists. |
