Summary A comparative analysis of the scientific performance of male and female scientists in the area of Materials Science at the
Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) is presented. Publications of 333 scientists during 1996-2000 are downloaded
from the international database Science Citation Index and the national one ICYT. Scientific performance of scientists is
studied through different indicators of productivity (number of SCI and ICYT publications), international visibility (average
impact factor of publications, percentage of documents in “top journals”) and publication practices (%international publications,
signing order of authors in the documents and different collaboration measures). Inter-gender differences in the research
performance of scientists are studied. Influence of professional category and age are analysed. Although women are less productive
than men, no significant differences in productivity are found within each professional category. However, a different life-cycle
of productivity is found for men and woman and the most important inter-gender differences in productivity occur at the ages
of 40-59.
