The line graph illustrates the publication rate of UK based university professors, categorised by male and female, and the bar chart measures publication by four selected universities. Both are during 2006 to 2012. Overall, the publication rate of male professors remained more or less stable, whereas those for females increased significantly. It can also be seen that the majority of publications were in the humanities.
To be specific, in 2006, the number of female publications stood at 1000 per year, while that for males was three times as high. However, over the following 6 years, this gap closed as the female rate climbed noticeably to 3000 by 2012, which nearly matched that of the males, at around 3,300.
Regarding the number of publications, those in the humanities were considerably higher than for all the other subjects for all the universities, and particularly noticeable was Warwick which had 120 over the whole period, far higher than the other establishments. Warwick was also more prolific in publishing in the sciences and the arts, at around 90, whilst Sheffield, York and Brimingham all produced less than 45 in all these areas. Overall, Birmingham published the least.
