The top 1% of scientists accounted on average for 10% of national publication output (the 1/10 rule), and the top 10% of scientists accounted for almost 50% of this output (the 10/50 rule). The results of our econometric models show that the odds of membership in the top performers classes are significantly higher for men, scientists with a long publication history, and extensively involved in international research collaboration. Men are overrepresented in all three classes of most productive scientists (1%, 5%, and 10%) examined. The dataset included N = 152 043 Polish scientists and their Nart = 587 558 research articles from 1992!2021 indexed in Scopus.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={The 10/50 rule.
