Wp:Clubhouse?: an Exploration of Wikipedia's Gender Imbalance - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Shyong K. Lam, Anuradha Uduwage, Zhenhua Dong, Shilad Sen, David R. Musicant, Loren G. Terveen and John Riedl.
Overview
Wikipedia has rapidly become an invaluable destination for millions of information-seeking users. However, media reports suggest an important challenge: only a small fraction of Wikipedia's legion of volunteer editors are female. In the current work, authors present a scientific exploration of the gender imbalance in the English Wikipedia's population of editors. Authors look at the nature of the imbalance itself, its effects on the quality of the encyclopedia, and several conflict-related factors that may be contributing to the gender gap. Authors findings confirm the presence of a large gender gap among editors and a corresponding gender-oriented disparity in the content of Wikipedia's articles. Further, authors find evidence hinting at a culture that may be resistant to female participation.
