ADVANCE Leadership Award

拟议的活动旨在改善工程学术界女性的招聘和留住，并通过处理被引用的学术期刊上的出版物，促进女性工程学和工程学专业人员的职业发展。该项目将开发一种光盘，以揭开期刊出版过程的神秘面纱。光盘将包含文本材料和数字视频。该系统如何工作的概述，以及期刊文章、期刊短文、期刊笔记、被引用的会议记录和书籍章节在程序和影响方面的差异将以清晰和笼统的术语记录下来。杂志的编辑委员会是如何运作的，从总编辑到个人审稿人，我们将就如何以编辑的身份参与到期刊中来提出建议。然后，将包括一组从第一次提交到发表的工程论文的最佳实践案例研究。这些将引导用户一步一步地完成审查和修改过程，至少有一个案例研究将涉及一篇被成功转化为另一本期刊的被拒论文。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。虽然重点放在期刊论文上，但这张光盘将帮助用户开发其他同行评议的出版物，包括提案。授精将分两个阶段进行，并将与包括调查和访谈在内的评估工作保持一致。这个项目将使大量女性学者和潜在的学者受益，因为它解决了一个对学术成功至关重要的问题。这个项目得到了美国国家科学基金会高级计划的支持。高级方案的总体任务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工作中的参与度。

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.
