ABSTRACT

Sociology has come late to the practice of publishing during PhD enrolment. This contrasts to fields such as science disciplines (STEM) and psychology where publishing during PhD is part of the disciplinary culture. In New Zealand sociology, over the last decade, the traditional PhD monograph continues to be the main format. Closer measurement of academic research outputs by the New Zealand Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) creates new pressures in the oversupplied academic-research labour market. This study has three main findings. First, within the decade since the PBRF was introduced, the publishing patterns of sociology PhDs have changed very little on the surface. It should be noted, however, that more than half of these students successfully published at least one refereed output, suggesting a possible disciplinary shift in students attempting to produce publications during candidacy. Second, overall in this time period, men and women published during their PhD at equal rates. This, however, masks variation by the institution. Women outperformed men at all institutions except at the largest sociology programme, Auckland University, where they published at the same rate as men. Third, gender differences by quality, sociology versus non-sociology publications and by Australasian versus international publications showed no significant differences.

摘要

在博士招生期间，社会学在出版实践中来得很晚。这与科学学科 (STEM) 和心理学等领域形成鲜明对比，在这些领域，博士期间的出版是学科文化的一部分。在新西兰社会学中，过去十年来，传统的博士专着仍然是主要形式。新西兰基于绩效的研究基金 (PBRF) 对学术研究产出的更密切衡量在供过于求的学术研究劳动力市场上产生了新的压力。这项研究有三个主要发现。首先，自 PBRF 推出以来的十年内，社会学博士的出版模式在表面上几乎没有变化。然而，应该指出的是，这些学生中有一半以上成功地发表了至少一篇参考文献，建议在候选期间试图制作出版物的学生可能发生学科转变。其次，总体而言，在此期间，男性和女性在博士期间发表论文的比例相同。然而，这掩盖了机构的变化。女性在所有机构中的表现都优于男性，除了最大的社会学项目奥克兰大学，她们的发表率与男性相同。第三，质量、社会学与非社会学出版物以及澳大利亚与国际出版物的性别差异没有显着差异。奥克兰大学，他们以与男性相同的速度发表论文。第三，质量、社会学与非社会学出版物以及澳大利亚与国际出版物的性别差异没有显着差异。奥克兰大学，他们以与男性相同的速度发表论文。第三，质量、社会学与非社会学出版物以及澳大利亚与国际出版物的性别差异没有显着差异。
