In India, Science as a discipline is subject to many of the same gender issues as it is worldwide - women scientists are fewer in number than men, they occupy fewer positions of power, and face distinct issues by virtue of their gender and the accompanying societal pressures. Women Scientists in India also tend to be less visible than their male counterparts, and public awareness of Indian Women Scientists is low.
IndiaBioScience will be organising a series of public events to raise the profile of women scientists on one of the most-popular online encyclopaedias - Wikipedia. At these events, participants will be encouraged to create and complete profiles of Indian Women in Science.
The next event of this series will be a virtual edit-a-thon on the morning of October 30, 2015. All are welcome to join us! Details below.
Our first two edit-a-thons were held on 11th and 14th October. The latter, on 14th October, coincided with Ada Lovelace Day, an international day to celebrate the achievements of women in Science, Technology and Math.
Contact the IndiaBioScience Team for more details: www.indiabioscience.org & team@indiabioscience.org

Past events
Saturday, 11 October 2014
Tuesday, 14 October 2014
- Venue: Urban Solace
At the venue, the events will begin with a short, hands-on introduction to Wiki editing. Participants can then go on to pick the scientist they would like to work on. There will be an interaction session with a guest Woman Scientist around lunch, with a discussion of issues commonly faced by women in science. In the afternoon session, participants can continue working on the Wiki pages, with a break for tea. Participants are requested to bring their laptops. We have a few desktops available at Saturday's venue for those who cannot do so. Online participants can find us via Google Hangout. Chat with us or dial in for interactions, questions, help or simply to socialize.
Participants
Please set up a Wikipedia account before the event if possible. Very few details are needed to do this: a username, password, and your email (optional-but this will help to recover forgotten passwords). The short Wikipedia:Tutorial/Registration has more details. Once you have an account please edit this page & sign up below by typing four tildes ~~~~:

Guidelines for creating a Wikipedia Page
A Wikipedia page can be as brief as the ones for Rajeshwari Chatterjee, Pascale Cossart or Margaret Pittman, or as detailed as the ones for Janaki Ammal, Asima Chatterjee, Elaine Fuchs or Marie Curie.
If you are new to Wikipedia, this page is an excellent resource which provides guidelines on how to create an article, what to include and what to avoid. In particular, editing or creating biographies of living persons requires extra care. This page addresses important issues and questions to think about when writing biographies.
Notability is a critical criterion for an article to be deemed suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia. Make sure you are aware of what is required for an article to be accepted. To establish notability, research the scientist whose page you want to work on thoroughly and gather your references ahead of time.
We would like to recommend a few basic fields for pages, though in some cases it might not be possible to gather data on all of the below-mentioned fields:
Introduction: Date of birth(/death), Affiliation, Position, Field(s) of study, One or two major research highlights (if any), Recipient of (big name awards)
(Early life and) Education: (School), College (Undergrad, Masters), PhD University, PhD Research topic, Postdoc University and Research
Career: Career path with dates, Work highlights, Achievements, Discoveries
Research: This can be a separate category for people with an extensive body of work. For others, a line or two about their work can be included in the previous (career) section.
Publications: Selected publications of the scientist could be listed here.
Awards
References
Box Information: Photo, Born, Died, Residence, Nationality, Institutions, Field(s), Notable Awards, Known for
Here are a few websites that list names of Indian Women Scientists and can also be used as reference links in articles: http://www.ias.ac.in/womeninscience/liladaug.html http://www.ias.ac.in/php/fell_search.php3?sex=F http://www.keralawomenscientists.com/memberslist.php
