While productivity in academia is measured through authorship, not all scientific contributors have been recognized as authors. We consider nonauthor "acknowledged programmers" (APs), who developed, ran, and sometimes analyzed the results of computer programs. We identified APs in articles published between 1970 and 1990, finding that APs were disproportionately women ( = 4.0 × 10). We note recurrent APs who contributed to several highly-cited manuscripts. The occurrence of APs decreased over time, corresponding to the masculinization of computer programming and the shift of programming responsibilities to individuals credited as authors. We conclude that, while previously overlooked, historically, women have made substantial contributions to computational biology. For a video of this abstract, see: https://vimeo.com/313424402.
虽然学术界的生产力是通过作者身份来衡量的，但并不是所有的科学贡献者都被认为是作者。我们将非作者“公认的程序员”（AP）视为，他们开发、运行，有时还分析计算机程序的结果。我们在 1970 年至 1990 年间发表的文章中确定了 AP，发现 AP 中女性比例过高（=4.0×10）。我们注意到有一些反复出现的 AP 对几篇高引用的手稿做出了贡献。随着时间的推移，AP 的出现频率逐渐减少，这与计算机编程的男性化以及将编程职责转移到被认为是作者的个人身上的趋势相吻合。我们的结论是，虽然以前被忽视了，但从历史上看，女性为计算生物学做出了巨大贡献。有关此摘要的视频，请访问：https://vimeo.com/313424402。
