However, comparing narrower research areas with at least 1,000 students sampled showed a trend toward correlation between homophily and the fraction of women mentors or students ( S5 Fig , n = 29 research areas, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, homophily versus fraction women students, r = 0.36, p = 0.06, homophily versus fraction women mentors, r = 0.37, p = 0.05), consistent with recent work on gender homophily in coauthorship [ 25 ].
