NISS Writing Workshop for New Researchers

支持本次会议提供部分参与者支持2018年NISS写作研讨会在联合统计会议（JSM）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初级研究人员。 这些资金支持为24名统计学，生物统计学和数据科学的初级研究人员举办的技术写作研讨会。写作研讨会将提供个人动手指导和指导，由最近的期刊编辑就如何写期刊文章和研究经费的建议。 初级研究人员将在6月1日之前通过提交写作样本申请参加研讨会，并将在申请人与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，许多讲习班参加者后来成为主要统计期刊的副编辑或共同编辑。 从2007年到2016年，NISS为统计学，生物统计学和数据科学的初级研究人员组织了技术写作研讨会。2018年NISS写作研讨会由两部分组成。讲习班开始时将举办辅导班，内容涉及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。另一个会议将涵盖期刊的具体信息，以决定在哪里出版，和一个小组的当前和最近的编辑将讨论的差异之间的关键期刊。 重要的伦理问题也将被讨论，期刊的选择问题，以及对审稿人意见的理解和回应将在最后一次会议上讨论。 在这一部分结束时，每个参与者都会与他们的导师会面，导师分析了参与者在研讨会之前提交的论文草稿，并收到反馈和建议。 第二部分主要针对母语非英语的学生的写作问题，包括写作过程和语法、句子结构、用词等细节。 一个由母语不是英语的高级研究人员组成的小组将讨论他们在英语技术写作方面的经验。 该研讨会的网站是：https://www.niss.org/events/2018-niss-writing-workshop-junior-researchers-jsmThis奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。

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.
