Highlights：
• Examines possible gender differences in the citation coverage of Google Scholar and Web of Science.
• Draws on a sample of 1250 U.S. researchers from five disciplines.
• Uses simulations to assess the possible gender consequences of using one database instead of the other.
• Finds no notable gender differences in the citation coverage of the two databases.
• Simulations indicate marginal effects of database selection on women's success in appointments.
