Various studies show that there are gender-specific differences in the productivity of scientists. In this paper, bibliometric data from the TU Ilmenau between 2012 and 2021 are examined for gender-specific differences. The results show that women are underrepresented in all areas at the TU Ilmenau and that their gender has a negative influence on the publication frequency but not on the citation rate. These differences can be mitigated by other factors such as the research area (faculty) or the title of the employee.
