Can improved digital access to scientific knowledge help close the gender gap in research? Yes! 👩🔬 WIPO data shows that in @r4lpartnership.bsky.social countries, the # of publications with at least one woman author rose by 30%, and the # of women authors by 9%: www.research4life.org/press-releas...
New research shows that when women scientists in low- and middle-income countries get digital access to research, their visibility, voice, and volume in science increase.
