Abstract
The participation of women on YouTube is lower than men, both in terms of audience and in terms of producing and disseminating content. Through the analysis of the main Spanish scientific youtubers differentiated by gender, this research calculates their engagement rates (likes, dislikes and comments) and their reach in terms of views, as well as the type of subject matter addressed in each case. It shows that men dominate science channels on YouTube, which are mostly from STEM disciplines, being more productive and obtaining greater reach, follow-up and impact. However, despite the fact that the videos led by women have fewer subscribers and views, they all have a higher number of interactions and greater behavioral engagement.
