A NISS/ASA Writing Workshop for New Researchers

这一奖项将支持为寻求发表研究成果或以联邦资助拨款提案的形式提出研究计划的统计科学新研究人员举办的有效技术写作讲习班。研究人员，特别是新的研究人员，往往难以传播其研究成果，不是因为研究的质量，而是因为对特定研究的出版地点选择不当，和/或因为向选定的受众介绍技术材料不佳。国家统计科学研究所和美国统计协会将管理讲习班。研讨会将于2011年7月31日至8月3日在佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩举行的联合统计会议上举行。研讨会将以关于技术文章或拨款申请材料的组织、技术写作技巧以及统计科学主要期刊的具体任务和受众的辅导会议开始。然后，每个参与的新研究人员将单独与一位经验丰富的期刊编辑合作，作为导师，在新研究人员正在进行的工作草稿的基础上个人化地解决这些问题。在文章或拨款申请提交审查之前，导师将对遵循这一指导方针的修改进行批评，以确保新研究人员对写作技巧的实施是成功的。研讨会将于2011年7月31日至8月3日在佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩举行的联合统计会议上举行。

This award will support a workshop on effective technical writing for new researchers in the statistical sciences who seek to publish their research or to present their research plans in the form of grant proposals for federal funding. Researchers, especially new researchers, often have difficulty disseminating their research results not because of the quality of the research but rather because of inappropriate choices of publication venues for the particular research and/or because of poor presentation of technical material to the chosen audience. The National Institute of Statistical Sciences and the American Statistical Association will manage the Workshop. The workshop will be held at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Miami Beach, FL, July 31 - August 3, 2011.This workshop will open with tutorial sessions on the organization of material for a technical article or grant application, on technical writing techniques and on the specific missions and audiences of key journals in the statistical sciences. Then each participating new researcher will work individually with an experienced journal editor as mentor to address these issues on an individualized basis for draft of the new researcher's work in progress. Revisions following this guidance will be critiqued by the mentor to assure that the new researcher's implementation of writing techniques has been successful before the article or the grant proposal is submitted for review. The workshop will be held at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Miami Beach, FL, July 31 - August 3, 2011.
