Abstract

This paper analyses the situation of women in the resarch activity within the aerospace sector. In particular, it takes into account their role in the main Spanish establishment for aeronautics and space research, The National Institute of Aeroespace Technique (INTA). From data obtained from a previous bibliometric study done at INTA for the period 1990- 2005, a genre perspective analysis has been conducted. These data were collected from their publications in the Web Of Knowledge. Their scientific activity is evaluated through two indicators, productivity and authorship, temathic areas of specific interest for women, etc. With the data obtained, the increasing presence of women is shown, not only in engineering or other disciplines related with it, but also in research.
