  Summary of report topics and content:
  Is the Research of Women Scholars "Less Influential"?
  Gender disparities in research are a common global phenomenon, and female scholars are generally underperforming in terms of number, research output and citation impact, resulting in typical phenomena such as the "research output puzzle" and the "pipeline effect". The report will analyse the systematic differences in the research output and impact of scholars by gender and the reasons behind them based on a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods, reveal the significant advantages of female scholars in the dimension of "social influence" and the mechanisms of their formation, and discuss the recommendations and inspirations for relevant science and technology policies.
