Three significant and intertwined changes in the ecological research landscape are occurring: new commitments to removing barriers that exclude scientists of diverse backgrounds, availability of open data streams, and a shift towards Open Access (OA) publishing through author-pays models. Given the importance of scholarly publishing in hiring and promotion, barriers to publishing could undermine or negate other interventions and programs to recruit and retain diverse scholars in environmental biology. Therefore, the Ecological Society of America (ESA) proposes a community survey and a workshop to explore barriers to full participation of a wide diversity of Ecology and Environmental Biology scientists in publishing research, with particular attention to potential impacts of the shift to Open Access publishing models. The objectives of this workshop and community survey are to 1) raise awareness of the intersection between open science and diversity, equity, and inclusion, 2) evaluate the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in publishing (including identifying data gaps), 3) gather data about potential barriers to publishing Open Access, and 4) provide a forum for stakeholders to identify solutions to potential barriers. The goals of the workshop are to convene society and publishing leaders to examine the current status of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the publishing process, to explore rising concerns that transitioning to Open Access could exacerbate inequalities in scholarly publishing and to discuss strategies to alleviate financial burden associated with publishing. This workshop will have significant broader impact on the Ecology and Environmental Biology community by 1) Facilitating networking and conversation around diversity, equity, and inclusion in publishing in the Ecology and Environmental Biology society and publishing leaders, 2) Providing additional data on the impact of author publishing charges and how the charges affect authors’ decisions on where and when to publish, 3) Identifying best practices and pitfalls when moving towards fully Open Access publishing models, and 4) Identifying characteristics of different funding models to support authors publishing Open Access articles.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

生态研究领域的三个重大且相互交织的变化正在发生：消除排除潜水员背景科学家的障碍的新承诺，开放数据流的可用性以及通过作者模型向开放访问（OA）发布的转变。鉴于科学出版在招聘和促进中的重要性，发布的障碍可能破坏或否定其他干预措施和计划，以招募和保留环境生物学领域的潜水员学者。因此，美国生态学会（ESA）提出了一项社区调查和一个讲习班，以探索全面参与广泛的生态学和环境生物学科学家参与出版研究的障碍，并特别关注转变对开放访问出版模型的潜在影响。该研讨会和社区调查的目标是1）提高人们对开放科学与多样性，公平和包容之间的交集的认识，2）评估当前多样性，公平性和包容性的现状，以及发布数据差距（包括识别数据差距），3）收集有关潜在出版开放访问的潜在障碍的数据，以及4）为潜在的企业提供了潜在的企业的潜在利益范围，以确定潜在的利益率。研讨会的目标是方便社会和出版领导者，以研究出版过程中多样性，公平性和包容性的当前状况，以探讨不断提出的关注，即过渡到开放式通道可能会加剧科学出版中的不平等，并讨论与出版有关的金融伯伦（Burnen）相关的策略。该研讨会将对生态和环境生物学社区产生更大的广泛影响。1）促进围绕多样性，公平性的网络和对话，并在出版中发布在生态和环境生物学协会中以及出版领导者中，2）提供有关作者出版指控的影响的其他数据，以及这些指控如何在何时置于何时范围内的范围，并在何时予以访问，并在何时予以实现，3）在何时予以访问，3）在何时予以访问，3）在3）中的范围，3）在何时予以实现，3）何时访问效果，3）在何时予以实现，3）何时访问效果，3）何时访问效果，3）何时访问效果，3）何时访问效果，3）何时访问效果，3）不同基础模型的特征支持作者发表开放访问文章。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评论标准来评估值得支持的。
