论文摘要
计算机科学（CS）研究的性别差距是一个充分研究的问题，估计比率为15％-30％的女性研究人员。但是，关于CS内特定领域的性别表示，知之甚少。在这里，我们研究了一个大型田地，即计算机系统的性别差距。为此，我们将来自53个领先系统会议的数据与外部人口统计学和文献计量数据结合在一起，以评估女性作者的比例以及可能影响该比率的因素。 我们的主要发现是女性仅占研究人员的10％，并且该比率与大小，声望，双盲审查和包容性政策等各种会议因素无关。作者研究经验也不会显着影响该比率，尽管作者国家和工作部门确实如此。 女性作者的10％比率明显低于整个CS。我们的发现表明，仅关注包容性政策就无法解决这一巨大差距。增加妇女参与系统研究的参与将需要解决其排除的系统原因，而这些原因在系统中比其余的CS更为明显。
The gender gap in computer science (CS) research is a well-studied problem, with an estimated ratio of 15%--30% women researchers. However, far less is known about gender representation in specific fields within CS. Here, we investigate the gender gap in one large field, computer systems. To this end, we combined data from 53 leading systems conferences with external demographic and bibliometric data to evaluate the ratio of women authors and the factors that might affect this ratio. Our main findings are that women represent only about 10% of systems researchers, and that this ratio is not associated with various conference factors such as size, prestige, double-blind reviewing, and inclusivity policies. Author research experience also does not significantly affect this ratio, although author country and work sector do. The 10% ratio of women authors is significantly lower than that of CS as a whole. Our findings suggest that focusing on inclusivity policies alone cannot address this large gap. Increasing women's participation in systems research will require addressing the systemic causes of their exclusion, which are even more pronounced in systems than in the rest of CS.
