Abstract
Several researchers have concentrated efforts to study the participation of women in scientific and technological careers, seeking to profile their trajectory and academic performance in science. In this context, this study aimed to analyze the participation of the group of doctor’s degree who have curricula registered in the Lattes Platform and whose registered gender is female. After data collection, the stage of selection of curricula by gender criteria was performed, and data processing obtained a set of 149,850 registered curricula with female gender and maximum completed doctor’s degree distributed in its various areas of scientific knowledge. The doctor’s degree data were grouped regarding academic background, publications, productions, orientations, major areas of expertise and it was possible to analyze the evolution of scientific and technological production of the set in a temporal way. Studying the various aspects of gender difference in general and particularly in science and technology, as well as being relevant, can be a source of inspiration for government policies and programs that seek to promote change, encourage and value women’s participation in science.
