The current paper follows up on the results of an exploratory quantitative analysis that compared the publication and citation records of men and women researchers affiliated with the Faculty of Computing and Engineering at Dublin City University (DCU) in Ireland. Quantitative analysis of publications between 2013 and 2018 showed that women researchers had fewer publications, received fewer citations per person, and participated less often in international collaborations. Given the significance of publications for pursuing an academic career, we used qualitative methods to understand these differences and explore factors that, according to women researchers, have contributed to this disparity. Sixteen women researchers from DCU’s Faculty of Computing and Engineering were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Once interviews were transcribed and anonymised, they were coded by both authors in two rounds using an inductive approach. Interviewed women believed that their opportunities for research engagement and research funding, collaborations, publications and promotions are negatively impacted by gender roles, implicit gender biases, their own high professional standards, family responsibilities, nationality and negative perceptions of their expertise and accomplishments. Our study has found that women in DCU’s Faculty of Computing and Engineering face challenges that, according to those interviewed, negatively affect their engagement in various research activities, and, therefore, have contributed to their lower publication record. We suggest that while affirmative programmes aiming to correct disparities are necessary, they are more likely to improve organisational culture if they are implemented in parallel with bottom-up initiatives that engage all parties, including men researchers and non-academic partners, to inform and sensitise them about the significance of gender equity.

出版记录中的性别差异：对计算机和工程领域女性研究人员的定性研究

本论文跟进了一项探索性定量分析的结果，该分析比较了爱尔兰都柏林城市大学 (DCU) 计算与工程学院附属男性和女性研究人员的发表和引用记录。对 2013 年至 2018 年出版物的定量分析表明，女性研究人员的出版物较少，人均引用次数较少，参与国际合作的频率也较低。鉴于出版物对于追求学术生涯的重要性，我们使用定性方法来理解这些差异，并探索女性研究人员认为导致这种差异的因素。来自 DCU 计算与工程学院的 16 名女性研究人员使用半结构化问卷进行了采访。一旦访谈被转录并匿名，两位作者就会使用归纳方法对它们进行两轮编码。受访女性认为，她们参与研究和研究资助、合作、出版和晋升的机会受到性别角色、隐性性别偏见、她们自己的高专业标准、家庭责任、国籍以及对其专业知识和成就的负面看法的负面影响。我们的研究发现，DCU 计算与工程学院的女性面临挑战，据受访者称，这些挑战会对她们参与各种研究活动产生负面影响，因此导致她们的发表记录较低。我们建议虽然旨在纠正差异的平权计划是必要的，
