Gender differences in scientific collaborations: Women are more egalitarian than men - Fig 1

<p>a) Distribution of the number of collaborators for men (blue squares) and women (red asterisks). The distributions are fitted with a truncated power law, <i>P</i>(<i>k</i>) = <i>Ak^−αe^−k/β</i>, plotted as dashed lines with colors corresponding to data points. The best fit is obtained for <i>α</i> = 1.53, and <i>β</i> = 85.4 and <i>β</i> = 49.5, for men and women, respectively, with r-squared 0.996 for men and 0.999 for women. b) Distribution of the number of recurrent collaborations between scientists (weights) for men (blue squares) and women (red asterisks). Solid lines are power-law fits, <i>P</i>(<i>w</i>) = <i>Bw^−λ</i>, with colors corresponding to data points. For men, <i>λ</i> = 2.86 ± 0.04, while for women <i>λ</i> = 3.17 ± 0.06. With r-squared 0.997 for men and 0.996 for women.
