Analysis reveals gender differences in knowledge production stability and volatility in science careers, suggesting a complex dynamic.

Female scientists showed higher knowledge production stability, indicating more consistent performance over time, while males had lower stability.
The data revealed that female scientists exhibited greater year-to-year volatility in performance compared to their male counterparts, pointing to a paradox.
Insights were drawn from comprehensive bibliometric data covering 62.5 million authors, enabling robust comparisons across disciplines.
Results indicated that while females excelled under moderate performance requirements, they faced challenges in sustaining peak performance over time.

Zheng et al. (2025) studied this question.
