Excuse a question from a total statistics illiterate:
> Using a transformation of the h-index as our indicator of research output, we find male research output to be 0.35 standard deviations (p < 0.001) above female research output. However, the gap falls to 0.13 standard deviations (p < 0.001) when years publishing is controlled for.
What does this mean? What does "years publishing is controlled for" means?
