Utilizando el Modelo Temático Estructural (STM)se estiman los temas de investigación de los artículos, y se asignan los artículos (ylos autores) a dichos temas. La distribución resultante de temas de investigación porsexos demuestra que hay diferencias horizontales significativas de género en la elecciónde temas de investigación.
