ADVANCE Leadership Award

拟议的活动旨在通过在经评审的学术期刊上发表文章，改善工程学术界妇女的征聘和保留，并加强妇女工程学术界的职业发展。本计画将制作一张光碟，以揭开期刊出版过程的神秘面纱。光碟将包含文字资料与数位影像。将以清晰和一般的术语概述该系统的工作原理以及期刊文章、期刊短文、期刊笔记、参考文献和书籍章节在程序和影响方面的差异。如何编辑委员会的期刊运作，从主编到个人审稿人将解释与建议如何成为参与一个期刊的编辑能力。然后，一组最佳实践案例研究，从第一次提交到出版工程论文将包括在内。这些将采取用户通过审查和修订过程一步一步，至少有一个案例研究将涉及一个被拒绝的论文，issuctionfully转换为另一个期刊。视频剪辑将提供文章作者、期刊编辑和审稿人的评论和讨论，尽可能使用女性工程学者。虽然重点是期刊论文，这张光盘将帮助用户开发其他同行评审的出版物，包括建议。传播将分为两个阶段，并将与包括调查和访谈在内的评估工作保持一致。该项目将通过解决一个对学术成功至关重要的问题，使大量女学者和潜在的学者受益。高级方案的总体使命是通过增加妇女在学术科学和工程职业中的代表性和地位，增加妇女在科学和工程劳动力中的参与。

The proposed activity aims to improve the recruitment and retention of women inengineering academia and to enhance career development of women engineeringacademics by addressing publications in refereed scholarly journals. This project will develop a CD ROM that demystifies the journal publication process.The CD ROM will contain both text material and digital video. An overview of how thesystem works and the differences, both in procedure and in impact, of journal articles,journal short papers, journal notes, refereed proceedings and book chapters will bedocumented in clear and general terms. How the editorial board of a journal operatesfrom editor-in-chief down to individual reviewers will be explained with suggestions onhow to become involved with a journal in an editorial capacity. Then, a set of bestpractices case studies that follow engineering papers from first submittal throughpublication will be included. These will take the user through the review and revisionprocess step by step and at least one case study will involve a rejected paper that issuccessfully transformed for another journal. The video clips will provide comments anddiscussion by article authors, journal editors and reviewers, using women engineeringacademics where possible. While the focus is on journal papers, this CD ROM willassist the users in developing other peer reviewed publications including proposals.Dissemination will be in two phases and will be aligned with assessment effortsinvolving surveys and interviews. This project will benefit a large number of womenacademics and potential academics by addressing an issue vital to scholarly success.This project is supported by the NSF ADVANCE Program. The overall mission of the ADVANCE Program is to increase the participation of women in the scientific and engineering workforce through the increased representation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.
