Implementing an Electronic Peer-reviewed Journal of Earth System Science Education Resources (JESSE): A Pathfinder for SMETE Resource Peer Review

本项目将继续开发一份新的地球系统科学教育在线期刊（JESSE），该期刊的计划是在先前的规划拨款（奖励号：9907764）的支持下制定的。新的电子期刊强调同行评议过程的研究和实验，因为它通过电子出版物为广义的地球科学和涉及地球系统和全球变化教育的相关学科建立了一个有序的评议资源材料的集合。地球系统和全球变化科学的跨学科丰富性为在推进科学、数学、工程和技术教育（SMETE）的同行评审过程中进行研究和实验提供了不同寻常的机会。JESSE专注于学习资源和元数据，其中科学内容与可视化相结合丰富了跨广泛学科和跨学科教育努力的学习。最初的重点是创建、实施、测试和评估一个同行评审过程，包括匿名和开放的评审组件，以提交本科水平的教育资源。这项研究和实验旨在优化审查过程的效率和数字图书馆馆藏建设的质量。在提供匿名和公开评论的过程中，JESSE正在对这个过程进行试验。在主编的指导下，匿名部分是为了确保通过公开审查达成的过程和判断的可信度。在公开评审过程中，编辑和审稿人都直接与资源的作者合作，提出修改建议，并为课堂和其他教育努力提供翔实的评论，同时就出版资源的可接受性达成共同协议。JESSE的评审标准包括地球系统教育数字图书馆（DLESE）推荐的标准。审查标准也构成了一个研究课题，因为它们适用于不同学科和不同类型的资源。不同类型的资源包括课程、教学大纲和讲座、实验练习、互动模型、专题模块、虚拟实地考察、注释图像数据库、电子文本和专著。其他类型包括笔记、通信和用户体验，以便在期刊的同行评论部分进行审查和发布。JESSE还打算发表关于地球系统教育中所涉及的学习过程的文章和评论论文。JESSE审查和出版的所有材料的版权归作者所有，而同行评议过程本身和出版确保了作者在全国范围内的认可。作为审查过程的研究和实验的一部分，该杂志旨在激发教育工作者在开发高质量电子资源方面的创造力，这些资源既描述了地球系统的状态，也描述了控制地球系统的潜在过程。最终，同行评议的收集将提供地球系统和全球变化科学的整体视角。

This project continues the development of a new online Journal of Earth System Science Education (JESSE), plans for which were laid with the support of a previous planning grant (Award No. 9907764).The new e-journal is emphasizing research and experimentation with the peer review process as it establishes, through electronic publication, an orderly collection of reviewed resource materials for the broadly defined geoscience and related disciplines involved in Earth system and global change education.The interdisciplinary richness of Earth system and global change science provides unusual opportunities for research and experimentation with the peer review process in advancing science, mathematics, engineering, and technology education (SMETE). JESSE is focusing on learning resources and metadata where scientific content combined with visualization enriches learning across a broad range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary educational efforts. The initial emphasis is on creating, implementing, testing, and evaluating a peer review process embracing anonymous and open review components for the submission of educational resources at the undergraduate level. This research and experimentation aims to optimize the efficiency of the review process and the quality of the offerings as the digital library's collections are built.In providing for both anonymous and open reviews, JESSE is experimenting with the process. Guided by Principal Editors, the anonymous component is to ensure credibility of the process and judgments reached through the open review. Within the open review process, both editors and reviewers work directly with the authors of resources to suggest changes and develop informative commentary for classroom and other educational endeavors, while reaching common agreement on the acceptability of a resource for publication. JESSE's review criteria include those recommended by the Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE). Review criteria also constitute a topic of research as they are applied and adapted for resources from different disciplines and of different types. Different types of resources include courses, syllabi and lectures, laboratory exercises, interactive models, topical modules, virtual field trips, annotated image databases, and electronic texts and monographs. Other types include notes, correspondence, and user experiences for review and publication within a peer commentary section of the journal. JESSE also intends to publish articles and review papers concerning the learning process involved in Earth system education. Copyright of all materials reviewed and published by JESSE remains with the author, while the peer review process itself and publication ensure national recognition for the author.As part of its research and experimentation with the review process, the journal aims to stimulate the creativity of educators in the development of quality electronic resources that describe both the state and underlying processes governing the Earth system. Ultimately, the peer-reviewed collection will provide a holistic perspective of Earth system and global change science.
