Published!!!I am completely, utterly, totally excited to announce that the work funded by this Experiment.com project was published today:
 http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0161357

To all of our funders, thank you for your support. You made this happen.
And to everyone, publishing one paper on gender underrepresentation certainly does NOT solve the problem. Please do share this paper to raise awareness. But more importantly, to everyone -- and especially to dudes -- please be involved in addressing issues of underrepresentation in STEM fields.
With tremendous gratitude,
Chad

About This Project

Gender representation on mathematical sciences journal editorial boards

Women are grievously underrepresented in the mathematical sciences. Because publication of research is key to academic career advancement and because research has repeatedly uncovered gender bias penalizing women in professional circumstances, we use tools of data science to study 600 mathematical sciences journal editorial boards. We quantify gender representation on these boards and examine its association with characteristics such as impact factor, publishing house, and mathematical subfield.
