Abstract
The authors of the study present bibliometric research of WoS-indexed productivity from 1996 to 2005 of all Croatian natural and social scientists who hold a doctorate. Gender differences are significant in the natural sciences, as opposed to the social sciences (which show much smaller WoS production and visibility). When a minimal set of productivity predictors was used, there was no significant impact of gender on publications and citations in the social sciences, and a significant but small impact in the natural fields. In the latter area, the influence of gender disappears when the number of publications is added to the predictors of citations. Consequently, women’ s publications, whether in the natural or the social sciences, do not have lesser international visibility than men’ s, which - in line with some other studies – indicates women’ s scientific achievement since they, according to numerous empirical studies, do not have the same professional advantages as men.
