This study was recently posted to the wiki-research mail list; I think perspectives from participants here would be valuable given the goals of the study.
Take care, Jethro ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Danielle J McDonald <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 2:32 PM Subject: [Wiki-research-l] Call for Participation in Wikipedia Women Study To: "[email protected]" < [email protected]> Hi all, I'm currently conducting some research on self-identified women editors and their work on Wikipedia English. Despite all the research/media discussing how few women edit, very little is known about the experiences of women who actively edit Wikipedia. To better understand the gender gap-- and how to address it-- much more needs to be known about women editors' experiences and perspectives. For more information about the study, you can visit https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Beyond_the_Gender_Gap:_Understanding_Women%27s_Participation_in_Wikipedia If you are an editor who 1) self-identifies as a woman in Wikipedia, 2) has been actively editing enwiki for 2+ years, and 3) would be willing to be interviewed about your experiences, please consider participating. The interview would take place over Skype, phone, or email, and your involvement would be voluntary, confidential, and much appreciated! For more information or to participate in the study, please email Danielle at [email protected].
