Opt-in surveys are the most widespread method used to study participation in online communities, but produce biased results in the absence of adjustments for non-response.

We estimate that the proportion of female US adult editors was 27.5% higher than the original study reported (22.7%, versus 17.8%), and that the total proportion of female editors was 26.8% higher (16.1%, versus 12.7%).
