A NISS/ASA Writing Workshop for New Researchers

这一奖项将支持为寻求发表他们的研究成果或以联邦基金拨款提案的形式提出研究计划的统计科学新研究人员提供有效技术写作的课程。新的研究人员往往很难传播他们的研究成果，这不是因为研究的质量，而是因为为特定研究选择了不适当的出版地点和/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这次研讨会。讲习班将以以下方面的辅导会议开始：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任务和受众。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。统计项目官员同意，这门课程对职业的健康至关重要，并建议在所要求的资金水平上给予支持。该奖项将支持一门关于统计科学新研究人员有效技术写作的课程，他们寻求发表他们的研究成果或以联邦基金拨款提案的形式提出他们的研究计划。新的研究人员往往很难传播他们的研究成果，这不是因为研究的质量，而是因为为特定研究选择了不适当的出版地点和/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这次研讨会。讲习班将以以下方面的辅导会议开始：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任务和受众。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。统计项目官员同意，这门课程对职业的健康至关重要，并建议按照所要求的资金水平提供支持。

This award will support a course 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. 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. 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 Statistics Program Officers agree that this course is essential to the health of the profession and recommend its support at the requested level of funding.This award will support a course 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.
