Please see below a message from a network member which I am forwarding to the GAINSNet list. From: Williams Nwagwu, [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: All INSTAW members Dear Colleague, I am an Information Scientist at the Africa Regional Center for Information Science (ARCIS), University of Ibadan, Nigeria. I am an INSTRAW member. Currently I am working on GENDER PATTERNS IN COAUTHORSHIP IN HEALTH LITERATURE IN NIGERIA. It is a self- sponsored and intensive project. Issues related to coauthorship have been current in the discourses in the field of Informetric for sometime now. But there is identifiable effort by anyone or any of the indexing organizations I know, to relate the phenomenon to the gender discourse. Meanwhile I need to know the situation with scholars from other countries regarding the phenomenon I have mentioned, and how I can benefit fro their experiences and related works in their own environments. Issues raised in this study will be good experiences to share in conferences and also to contribute for primary publication. Scholars who have access to reading materials, conferences and networks regarding the gender differentials in scientific communication, particularly and in Informetrics generally, will help this project by connecting with me.
