Online science dissemination has quickly become crucial in promoting scholars' work. Recent literature has demonstrated a lack of visibility for women's research, where women's articles receive fewer academic citations than men's. The informetric and scientometric community has briefly examined gender-based inequalities in online visibility. However, the link between online sharing of scientific work and citation impact for teams with different gender compositions remains understudied. Here we explore whether online visibility is helping women overcome the gender-based citation penalty. Our analyses cover the three broad research areas of Computer Science, Engineering, and Social Sciences, which have different gender representation, adoption of online science dissemination practices, and citation culture. We create a quasi-experimental setting by applying Coarsened Exact Matching, which enables us to isolate the effects of team gender composition and online visibility on the number of citations. We find that online visibility positively affects citations across research areas, while team gender composition interacts differently with visibility in these research areas. Our results provide essential insights into gendered citation patterns and online visibility, inviting informed discussions about decreasing the citation gap.

翻译：在线科学传播已迅速成为推广学者工作的重要手段。近期文献揭示了女性研究成果可见性不足的现象——女性作者的论文获得的学术引用次数低于男性。信息计量学与科学计量学界已初步探讨了在线可见性的性别不平等问题，然而，对于不同性别构成团队而言，其科研成果的在线分享与引用影响力之间的关联仍缺乏研究。本研究旨在探索在线可见性是否有助于女性克服基于性别的引用惩罚。我们的分析覆盖计算机科学、工程学与社会科学三大广泛研究领域，这些领域在性别代表性、在线科学传播实践的采纳程度及引用文化方面存在差异。通过应用粗化精确匹配方法构建准实验环境，我们得以分离团队性别构成与在线可见性对引用数量的独立影响。研究发现，在线可见性对跨研究领域的引用次数具有积极效应，而团队性别构成与可见性在各领域中的交互作用呈现差异化特征。本研究结果揭示了性别化的引用模式与在线可见性之间的关键关联，为缩小引用差距提供了富有洞见的讨论基础。
