Hoi,
When it is "SOP", why is it that you hear so little about the effects of
policies framed in terms of the rates we had or the rates we had in a
previous year.
The argument that there is a gender gap is getting tired when the argument
why it is a problem is only framed in the existence of the gap. It is
necessary that we learn how and what improvements are made and maybe how it
has an impact on the reader numbers. When there is a demand for articles
about women, it could result in more readers for articles about women..
I do welcome a different tack on this issue. The arguments so far are
getting stale.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hoi,
Given the existing number of articles and the gender gap in them, it is
unlikely that activities make much of a difference. I think that it makes
more sense to compare the new articles and see if the percentages are
different in those. Did anyone look at it in this way?
Thanks,

We could compare it also for temathic encyclopedias or other databases
existing in projects like Mix and match.
Can someone help? thanks in advance
