Wikipedia in the World of Global Gender Inequality Indices: What the Biography Gender Gap is Measuring - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2015, written by Max Klein and Piotr Konieczny.

Overview

While Wikipedia's editor gender gap is important but difficult to measure, its biographical gender gap can more readily be measured. Authors correlate a Wikipedia-derived gender inequality indicator (WIGI), with four widespread gender inequality indices in use today (GDI, GEI, GGGI, and SIGI). Analysing their methodologies and correlations to Wikipedia, authors find evidence that Wikipedia's bias in biographical coverage is related to the gender bias in positions of social power.
