Abstract
Conducting and publishing research is a very important aspect of any Higher Education System. In India, despite the rapid increase in the number of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), students and staff, very few studies have been conducted investigating how various factors influence academics’ Research Productivity (RP), especially exploring the gender differences in RP. Thus, this research aims to quantitatively and qualitatively explore the gender differences in RP and the factors influencing them. The quantitative results showed overall little differences in RP based on gender, whereas the interviews revealed a rich data on the various issues and the pressures female academics are under whilst conducting research. The inequity in terms of opportunities, ability and resources available were seen to be the major influencing factors. The research will be useful in formulating policies to decrease the inequities and increase the opportunities for the female academics to conduct research, especially considering the rapidly changing academic environment and the increasingly important role female academics play in Higher Education (HE) in India.
