NISS Writing Workshop for New Researchers

对这次会议的支持为2018年7月29日和31日在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省温哥华举行的联合统计会议(JSM)上举行的2018年NISS初级研究人员写作研讨会提供了部分参与者支持。这些资金支持为统计、生物统计和数据科学领域的24名初级研究人员举办的技术写作讲习班。写作工作坊将提供个人实践指导，并由最近的期刊编辑就如何撰写期刊文章和研究资金提案提供指导。初级研究人员将在6月1日之前提交写作样本申请参加研讨会，并在将申请者与8名高级编辑配对后，不迟于6月20日收到接受通知。以前的讲习班非常成功，许多参加者后来成为主要统计期刊的助理主编或联合主编。更具体地说，在2007年至2011年的109名应届毕业生中，至少有23名副主编和1名联合主编。从2007年到2016年，NISS为统计、生物统计和数据科学方面的初级研究人员组织了技术写作研讨会。2018年NISS写作工作坊由两部分组成。讲习班将以关于技术文章或赠款申请材料的组织、技术写作技巧以及统计科学主要期刊的具体目标和受众的指导会议开始。另一场会议将讨论期刊的具体信息，以决定在哪里发表，一个由现任和最近编辑组成的小组将讨论主要期刊之间的差异。重要的伦理问题也将在最后一次会议中讨论，期刊的选择，以及对评审者意见的理解和回应将在最后一次会议中讨论。在这一部分的最后，每个参与者都会与他们的导师会面，导师分析了学员在研讨会前提交的论文草稿，并收到反馈和建议。第二部分针对母语为非英语的参与者的具体问题，包括写作过程以及语法、句子结构和选词的细节。一个母语不是英语的高级研究人员小组将讨论他们用英语进行技术写作的经验。研讨会的网站是：https://www.niss.org/events/2018-niss-writing-workshop-junior-researchers-jsmThis奖反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Support for this conference provides partial participant support for the 2018 NISS Writing Workshop for Junior Researchers held at the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) July 29 and 31, 2018 in Vancouver, BC, Canada. These funds support a technical writing workshop for 24 junior researchers in statistics, biostatistics, and data science. The writing workshop will provide individual hands-on guidance and mentoring by recent journal editors on how to write journal articles and research funding proposals. Junior researchers will apply to the workshop by June 1 by submitting a writing sample and will be notified of acceptance no later than June 20 after pairing applicants with eight senior editors. Previous workshops have been very successful with many workshop participants going on to become associate editors or co-editors of major statistical journals. More specifically, at least 23 associate editorships and one co-editorship are among the 109 recent graduates from 2007 to 2011.From 2007 to 2016, NISS organized technical writing workshops for junior researchers in statistics, biostatistics and data science. The 2018 NISS writing workshop consists of two parts. The workshop will open with tutorial sessions on the organization of material for a technical article or a grant application, on techniques for technical writing, and on the specific objectives and audiences of key journals in the statistical sciences. Another session will cover journal specific information for deciding where to publish, and a panel of current and recent editors will discuss the differences among the key journals. Important ethical issues will also be discussed, and issues of journal choice, and understanding and responding to reviewers' comments will be covered in the final session. At the end of this part, each participant meets with their mentor who analyzed a draft paper the participant submitted prior to workshop and receives feedback and suggestions. The second part focuses on the specific issues for participants whose native language is not English, covering the writing process and details of grammar, sentence structure and word choice. A panel of senior researchers whose native language is not English will discuss their experiences with technical writing in English.
