Gender Gap Through Time and Space: a Journey Through Wikipedia Biographies via the Wikidata Human Gender Indicator: - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2018, written by Piotr Konieczny and Maximilian Klein.

Overview

In this study, authors investigate how quantification of Wikipedia biographies can shed light on worldwide longitudinal gender inequality trends, a macro-level dimension of human development. Authors present the Wikidata Human Gender Indicator (WHGI), located within a set of indicators allowing comparative study of gender inequality through space and time, the Wikipedia Gender Indicators (WIGI), based on metadata available through the Wikidata database. Authors research confirms that gender inequality is a phenomenon with a long history, but whose patterns can be analyzed and quantified on a larger scale than previously thought possible. Through the use of Inglehart–Welzel cultural clusters, authors show that gender inequality can be analyzed with regard to world’s cultures. Authors also show a steadily improving trend in the coverage of women and other genders in reference works.
