Conference: Building International Scholarship in 4S-Affiliated Journals: A Writing Workshop for Junior Scholars

在4S附属期刊中建立国际奖学金：为青少年学者举办的写作研讨会科学，技术和社会（STS）的跨学科领域在过去十年中变得越来越国际化。这是一个值得欢迎的转变，并反映在一系列的制度变化，包括在内容和编辑的数量增加的期刊附属于该领域最大的专业社会，社会科学研究（4S）。然而，该领域进一步国际化的潜力仍然巨大。出版和导师制方面的不平等-影响到历史上被边缘化的所有学科的学者-已有大量文献记载;鉴于强大的知识生产和技术创新需要无障碍交流和人人享有机会，消除这些不平等的努力至关重要。为了实现国际化的作者库，并使STS期刊进入更深层次的对话的目标，一个“STS出版”研讨会将举行由4S附属期刊的编辑团队领导。该研讨会将在2023年11月的4S会议之前立即举行，并将重点指导早期职业研究人员。该研讨会将包括与整个小组的会议，让学生和初级学者听到的见解和经验，从杂志编辑，谁也在该领域的资深学者。主题将包括同行评审过程的信息，以及编辑如何努力使评审社区更加多样化和包容性;对英语语言标准的见解和关于以多种语言出版的想法;以及对与国际环境中出版相关的专业发展可用资源的评论。研讨会的第二天将集中在小组会议上，与会者将收到来自期刊编辑和同行的高度参与的文章草稿反馈-研讨会结束后将继续进行对话，作为编辑跟进与会者的进展和持续的同行支持是鼓励。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过评估支持使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。

Building International Scholarship in 4S-Affiliated Journals: A Writing Workshop for Junior ScholarsThe interdisciplinary field of Science, Technology, and Society (STS) has become increasingly internationalized over the past decade. This is a welcome transformation and is reflected in a range of institutional changes including in the content and editorship of the expanded number of journals affiliated with the largest professional society of the field, the Society for the Social Studies of Science (4S). However, there remains tremendous potential to further internationalize the field. Inequities in publishing and mentorship – which impact historically marginalized scholars in all disciplines – have been well documented; efforts to eradicate these inequities are crucial given that robust knowledge production and technology innovation requires barrier-free exchange and opportunities for all. To work toward the goal of internationalizing the authorship pool and bringing STS journals into deeper conversation, a “Publishing in STS” workshop led by a team of editors at 4S-affiliated journals will be held. This workshop will be held immediately before the 4S meeting in November 2023, and will focus on mentoring Early Career Researchers. The workshop will include sessions with the full group that allow students and junior scholars to hear insights and experiences from the journal editors, who are also senior scholars in the field. Topics will include information on the peer-review process and how editors are working to make the review community more diverse and inclusive; insight on English language standards and ideas about publishing in multiple languages; and commentary on resources available for professional development related to publishing in international contexts. The second day of the workshop will focus on small- group sessions in which attendees will receive highly-engaged feedback on a draft article manuscript from the journal editors and from their peers - a conversation that will continue after the Workshop, as editors follow up on the progress of attendees and ongoing peer support is encouraged.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.
