Abstract
The amount of research produced is an important metric for evaluating academic success. However, research production is often biased against female academics relative to male academics, selecting against female academics to succeed. Additionally, reports show lockdown conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic may have introduced extra service, teaching, caregiving, and domestic roles for female academics at the expense of research production. We perform a meta-analysis using 45 effect sizes from 25 studies to investigate the effect of the pandemic on the gender gap in research production within academia and what factors influence this. We find that overall, the pandemic has increased the gender gap in research production within academia, but that the size of the gap is not different across research fields, authorship positions (first, middle or last) or according to the degree of the gender gap before the pandemic.
