Gender Bias in Student Evaluations

TL;DR: This paper explored the relationship between gender and teaching evaluations by using both content analysis in student-evaluation comments and quantitative analysis of students' ordinal scoring of their instructors, finding that the language students use in evaluations regarding male professors is significantly different than language used in evaluating female professors.

The extent and drivers of gender imbalance in neuroscience reference lists

TL;DR: It is found that reference lists tend to include more papers with men as first and last author than would be expected if gender were not a factor in referencing, and this overcitation of men and undercitation of women is driven largely by the citation practices of men, and is increasing over time as the field becomes more diverse.
