Data Base Inventory of Women's Participation in Scientific Fields (SGER)

国际妇女联合会将研究关于妇女参与科学领域的报告，并制定一套评价这一主题的现有数据库的标准。尽管文献中有许多关于科学工作者的报告，但在报告的目的、所包括的样本、所报告的数据、事实的可靠性以及从数据得出的推论的质量方面，专门涉及这些领域的妇女的报告是分散的，差异很大。该项目将评估文献的状况，确定寻找现有数据的方法，并提出确定其中所含信息的质量和一般性的方法。这一项目的结果将是一种评级工具，可供PI和其他调查人员使用，以判断现有的妇女数据库在科学界的有用性。

PI will study reports on women's participation in scientific fields, and develop a set of criteria for evaluating existing data bases on this topic. Although the literature contains numerous reports on people involved in science, reports dealing specifically with women in these fields are scattered and vary widely in the purposes of the report, the samples included, data reported, reliability of facts, and quality of inferences made from the data. This project will assess the state of the litera- ture, identifying ways to find existing data, and presenting ways to determine quality and generality of information contained in them. The outcome of this project will be a rating instrument usable by the PI and other investigators to judge the usefulness of existing data bases on women in science.
