The field of software engineering is embedded in both engineering and computer science, and may embody gender biases endemic to both. This paper surveys software engineering's origins and its long-running attention to engineering…

It is well known that women are underrepresented in the academic systems of many countries. Gender discrimination is one of the factors that could contribute to this phenomenon. This study considers a recent national academic recruitment…

Multiple studies have shown that gender balance in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths -- and in particular in ICT -- is still far to be achieved. Several initiatives have been recently taken to increase the women…

Gender bias, a systemic and unfair difference in how men and women are treated in a given domain, is widely studied across different academic fields. Yet, there are barely any studies of the phenomenon in the field of academic information…

Context. Women remain significantly underrepresented in software engineering, leading to a lasting gender gap in the software industry. This disparity starts in education and extends into the industry, causing challenges such as hostile…

Algorithmic systems such as search engines and information retrieval platforms significantly influence academic visibility and the dissemination of knowledge. Despite assumptions of neutrality, these systems can reproduce or reinforce…

The literature on the theme of gender differences in research performance indicates a quite evident gap in favor of men over women. Beyond the understanding of the factors that could be at the basis of this phenomenon, it is worthwhile…

Software engineering remains male-dominated despite efforts to attract and retain women. Many leave the field due to limited opportunities, unfair treatment, and challenging workplace cultures. Examining university life and choices is…

Gender diversity in the tech sector is - not yet? - sufficient to create a balanced ratio of men and women. For many women, access to computer science is hampered by socialization-related, social, cultural and structural obstacles. The…

A discussion on the readiness of Italian universities to address gender-related issues from a regional standpoint is proposed. A statistical analysis is conducted on data of all scholars enrolled in Italian universities from 2000 to 2023 to…

Recent studies conducted in different scientific disciplines have concluded that researchers belonging to some socio-cultural groups (e.g., women, racialized people) are usually less cited than other researchers belonging to dominating…

This study delves into the pervasive issue of gender issues in artificial intelligence (AI), specifically within automatic scoring systems for student-written responses. The primary objective is to investigate the presence of gender biases,…

Technology is a cornerstone of modern life, yet the software engineering field struggles to reflect the diversity of contemporary society. This lack of diversity and inclusivity within the software industry can be traced back to limited…

Diversity with respect to ethnicity and gender has been studied in open-source and industrial settings for software development. Publication avenues such as academic conferences and journals contribute to the growing technology industry.…

Modern society is diverse, multicultural, and multifaceted. Because of these characteristics, we are currently observing an increase in the debates about equity, diversity, and inclusion in different areas, especially because several groups…

Reproducing concurrency bugs is a complex task due to their unpredictable behavior. Researchers, regardless of gender, are contributing to automating this complex task to aid software developers. While some studies have investigated gender…

Context: Fairness in systems has emerged as a critical concern in software engineering, garnering increasing attention as the field has advanced in recent years. While several guidelines have been proposed to address fairness, achieving a…

Underrepresentation of women in the academic system is a problem common to many countries, often associated with gender discrimination. In the Italian academic context in particular, favoritism is recognized as a diffuse phenomenon…

Software engineering (SE) faces significant diversity challenges in both academia and industry, with underrepresented students encountering hostile environments, limited representation, and systemic biases that hinder their academic and…

This paper examines the historical dimension of gender bias in the US computing workforce. It offers new quantitative data on the computing workforce prior to the availability of US Census data in the 1970s. Computer user groups (including…
