摘要
Introduction: Unlike men, women are not equally represented in the different professional categories of the scientific system. According to several studies, the first noticeable decrease in the number of women takes place in doctoral degrees. The aim of this study was to evaluate sex differences in performance in doctoral degrees both globally and by areas of knowledge. Method: As a measure of performance, the number of doctoral theses registered in the Ordered Spanish Theses (TESEO) data base between 2002 and 2009 was compared across sex in a sample of 3.463 PhD students (1.724 women, 1.739 men). Results: The differential analysis did not show any statistically significant difference either at the global level or any specific area of knowledge. Conclusion: This study confirms that, when PhD students are given a pre-doctoral scholarship, there is not any sex difference in performance in doctoral degrees.
