Resumo: | Personal attributes and behavioral factors are key factors in determining researchers’ scientific productivity. Investigating what determines the academic productivity among university researchers is the purpose of this study, which uses a sample of microdata from professors at a State university in Brazil (Federal University of Juiz de Fora) for the period 1999-2013. The main results show that age and academic productivity have an inverted-U-shaped relationship, revealing that experience enhances academic production. Regarding gender differences, we found that women generally have lower average productivity than men. However, at the end of their careers, women are subject to greater leverage effects in productivity and therefore achieve productive parity with men, especially during their production peaks. |

Investigar o que determina a produtividade acadêmica entre pesquisadores universitários é o objetivo deste estudo, que utiliza uma amostra de microdados de professores de uma universidade estadual brasileira (Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora) para o período 1999-2013. Os principais resultados mostram que a idade e a produtividade acadêmica apresentam uma relação em forma de U invertido, revelando que a experiência potencializa a produção acadêmica. Em relação às diferenças de gênero, descobrimos que as mulheres geralmente têm produtividade média menor do que os homens. No entanto, ao final da carreira, as mulheres estão sujeitas a maiores efeitos de alavancagem na produtividade e, portanto, alcançam paridade produtiva com os homens, principalmente nos picos de produção.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2023-09-18info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/691510.1590/0103-6351/7741enghttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/6915/13031Copyright (c) 2023 Eduardo Gonçalves, Carolina Teixeira Saldanha, André Suriane da Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, EduardoSaldanha, Carolina TeixeiraSilva, André Suriane dareponame:SciELO Preprintsinstname:Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)instacron:SCI2023-09-18T19:20:55Zoai:ops.preprints.scielo.org:preprint/6915Servidor de preprintshttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scieloONGhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/oaiscielo.submission@scielo.orgopendoar:2023-09-18T19:20:55SciELO Preprints - Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO)false |
