2. The future of peer review - Royal Society Publishing

Author

Dunn, Andrew, moderator, Grogan, Kathleen, speaker, Neiman, Maurine, speaker, and Meirmans, Stephanie, speaker

Abstract

In this webinar, two members of the Proceedings B editorial board (Preprint/Senior Editor Maurine Neiman and Associate Editor Stephanie Meirmans) will be joined by a published author in the journal (Kathleen Grogan) to explore trends in peer review and how they see peer review evolving with time. Together with Andrew Dunn (Senior Publishing Editor for Royal Society Open Science), who will chair the discussion, this webinar will examine issues such as transparency in peer review, the key influences driving change, and how matters such as equity, diversity and inclusivity can be most effectively addressed to ensure a better future for peer review.

3. The power of peer networking for improving STEM faculty job applications: a successful pilot programme

Author

Grogan, Kathleen, speaker and Neiman, Maurine, moderator

Abstract

To attain a faculty position, postdoctoral fellows submit job applications that require considerable time and effort to produce. Although mentors and colleagues review these applications, postdocs rarely receive iterative feedback from reviewers with the breadth of expertise typically found on an academic search committee. To address this gap, we describe an international peer-reviewing programme for postdocs across disciplines to receive reciprocal, iterative feedback on faculty applications. A participant survey revealed that nearly all participants would recommend the programme to others. Furthermore, our programme was more likely to attract postdocs who struggled to find mentoring, possibly because of their identity as a woman or member of an underrepresented population in STEM or because they changed fields. Between 2018 and 2021, our programme provided nearly 150 early career academics with a diverse and supportive community of peer mentors during the difficult search for a faculty position and continues to do so today. As the transition from postdoc to faculty represents the largest ‘leak’ in the academic pipeline, implementation of similar programmes by universities or professional societies would provide psycho-social support necessary to prevent attrition of individuals from underrepresented populations as well as increase the chances of success for early career academics in their search for independence.

39. Supplement: Expanded section on funding options to help caregivers from Sticky steps and the gender gap: how thoughtful practices could help keep caregivers in science

Author

Meirmans, Stephanie, Lamatsch, Dunja K., and Neiman, Maurine

Abstract

Many fewer women than men hold senior academic positions, a widely recognized and increasing problem. Our goal is to identify effective and feasible solutions. We begin by providing an in-depth assessment of the drivers of this gender inequity. In our synthesis of existing data, we provide many lines of evidence highlighting caregiving as a primary main factor. This is not a ‘new’ insight per se, but a point worth repeating that we back up by a strong and synthetic body of recent data. We also believe that our analysis provides a step forward in simplifying a complex issue. We then develop a more detailed understanding of the challenges academic caregivers face and discuss whether and why it is important to keep caregivers in science. We find that the attrition due to caregiving should not be seen as a factor but rather as a process with multiple ‘sticky steps’ that eventually drive caregivers out of science—which, as we argue, is partly also good news. Indeed, it is here that we believe actions could be taken that would have a real impact: for example, one could effectively increase and expand upon current funding practices that focus on caregiver career advancement.
