Hi all,
Seems like there have been a lot of concrete ideas coming up on this list
in recent months! It would be great to have more gender-gap aimed project
proposals in this new round of Individual Engagement grants. See below for
more details and please don't hesitate to reach out if you want help
getting together your submission.

This is a new paper, published a couple of weeks ago. (Sorry if it's been
mentioned before, I couldn't see a related thread.)

Principal findings:
We find that administrators maintain a rather neutral, impersonal tone,
while regular editors are more emotional and relationship-oriented, that
is, they use language to form and maintain connections to other editors. *A
persistent gender difference is that female contributors communicate in a
manner that promotes social affiliation and emotional connection more than
male editors, irrespective of their status in the community. Female regular
editors are the most relationship-oriented, whereas male administrators are
the least relationship-focused.* Finally, emotional and linguistic
homophily is prevalent: editors tend to interact with other editors having
similar emotional styles (e.g., editors expressing more anger connect more
with one another).
