Citations in the corpus

• Segregation, Stereotypes, and STEM (2018, background): “…research has shown that faculty are more likely to respond to email requests for graduate mentoring from persons with male, white-sounding names (Milkman et al., 2015) and that scientific papers are judged to be of higher quality when attributed to a male author (Knobloch-Westerwick et al., 2013).”
• Gender differences and bias in open source: pull request acceptance of women versus men (2017, background): “[17] Silvia Knobloch-Westerwick, Carroll J Glynn, and Michael Huge.”
• Scaling Down Inequality: Rating Scales, Gender Bias, and the Architecture of Evaluation (2019, background): “…attribution of intellectual contributions (Sarsons 2017), citations (Knobloch-Westerwick and Glynn 2013; Malinak, Powers, and Walter 2013), and collaboration opportunities (Knobloch-Westerwick, Glynn, and Huge 2013) keep levels of gender diversity among tenure-line faculty low in many fields.”
• Gender Gap in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM): Current Knowledge, Implications for Practice, Policy, and Future Directions (2016, unknown): “For instance, college students were more likely to rate the same conference abstracts as lower in scientific quality if the author’s name was female instead of male, particularly if these topics had traditional masculine themes (Knobloch-Westerwick et al. 2013).”
• The gender gap in science: How long until women are equally represented? (2018, background): “, because equivalent achievements by women are judged less favourably [17,18] or because senior women are less often publicly celebrated as leaders in their fields [19].”
• Can Evidence Impact Attitudes? Public Reactions to Evidence of Gender Bias in STEM Fields (2015, background): “Finally, graduate students rated conference abstracts less favorably when they were attributed to a woman author than when the identical abstracts were attributed to a man (Knobloch-Westerwick et al., 2013).”
