Abstract
The present study was focused to find out whether gender influences the choice of research topic, a researcher takes. To achieve this, published papers of research work from the 2014 to 2015 was collected. Based on the topic of study, the researches were classified into either of the following stereotype-classes, technology, natural sciences, vehicles, health &diet, fashion & shopping and Humanities and analyzed to find out whether gender had any role in the selection of the topic of research. It was found that there was fare presence of both the genders on research activity every year. Both the male and female researchers mainly selected research topics related to Humanities. There was no specific stereotype-class which was highly dominated by either of the genders. Thus, we concluded that, gender of the researcher did not have major significant influence on the topic of research that they select for the study.
