论文摘要
维基百科代表了当今世界上最大，最受欢迎的百科全书知识来源，旨在提供全球信息的平等访问。从对Wikipedia的65,031名读者及其相应阅读日志的全球在线调查中，我们提供了Wikipedia读者群中性别差异的新颖证据，以及它们如何在用户行为记录中表现出来。更具体地说，我们报告说（1）女性在Wikipedia的读者中的代表性不足，（2）女性每本阅读课程的页面比男性少，（3）男性和女性出于类似的原因访问Wikipedia，并且（4）男人和女性表现出特定的主题偏好。我们的发现为确定在线百科全书知识的使用时识别知识公平的途径奠定了基础。
Wikipedia represents the largest and most popular source of encyclopedic knowledge in the world today, aiming to provide equal access to information worldwide. From a global online survey of 65,031 readers of Wikipedia and their corresponding reading logs, we present novel evidence of gender differences in Wikipedia readership and how they manifest in records of user behavior. More specifically we report that (1) women are underrepresented among readers of Wikipedia, (2) women view fewer pages per reading session than men do, (3) men and women visit Wikipedia for similar reasons, and (4) men and women exhibit specific topical preferences. Our findings lay the foundation for identifying pathways toward knowledge equity in the usage of online encyclopedic knowledge.
