  abstract = {This article focuses on gender gap in leadership by exploring the women experience in attaining as effective in top leadership positions. The present research paper constitutes a correlational study whose main objective is the identification of aspects pertaining to discrimination, as well as to the barriers that females are confronted with the moment they decide to pursue an academic career in Romania. The authors have applied several research methods using both documentation and quantitative and qualitative methods. Although the present qualitative study cannot be considered representative for the entire Romanian academic environment, it helps to identify a direction to be followed, it helps to form an image of the existence of gender equality and equality of opportunities in gaining access to leadership positions in universities. Our work is mainly conceived as a theoretical research grounded on statistical data. Some studies are focused on comparing the situation, adopted measures and results in different universities, with the aim to identify some common elements that can be benchmarks of good practice in the field of measuring the gender gaps. The rankings are designed to create greater awareness among a global audience of the challenges posed by gender gaps and the opportunities created by reducing them. The methodology and quantitative analysis behind the rankings are intended to serve as a basis for designing effective measures for reducing gender gaps.},
