The article reports on research which was conducted to investigate papers which were submitted to conferences of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) between 1996 and 2009 and to evaluate trends and influences on women’s authorship of computing-conference papers. Researchers found that the number of ACM conference papers grew from 1966 to 2009. They also found that while women remain severely underrepresented in computing, there was a substantial increase in their share of papers that they published. They concluded that the increase may be due to the fact that women earned more Ph.D. degrees in computing.

The authors argue that where appropriate, research papers in computer programming should be accompanied by software artifacts that let others test the repeatability of researchers' claims. The authors summarize results of an artifact evaluation process begun on an experimental basis at conferences of the Association of Computing Machinery, and provide commentary the mechanics of evaluating artifacts, who the evaluators should be, and the benefits of the evaluation process. Consideration is also given to whether artifacts should be published.
