摘要

Volunteer computing is a form of citizen science that has a significant gender imbalance. Far fewer women than men participate; women are typically less than ten percent of a project's participants. To better understand the experience of women in volunteer computing and seek clues as to methods for using volunteer computing experience as a recruiting tool, we analyze participant survey data from a project that tries to engage new communities with an interactive infrastructure. Our results showed very few gender differences among the responding men and women in volunteer computing. Our findings add to evidence that men and women engaged in computing activities are overwhelmingly similar. The challenge for gender balance seems to be informing and engaging larger networks of diverse women to promote volunteer computing and contribute to achieving its goals.
