Journal of Science Policy & Governance André Porter communications@sciencepolicyjournal.org (202) 730-9502 Washington, DC (May 28, 2022) – JSPG CEO Dr. Adriana Bankston participated as a speaker in the 1st meeting of the UNESCO Working Group on Open Science Policies and Policy Instruments held earlier this week. The session was led by Mr. Ezra Clark, Chief of Section, Science, Technology and Innovation Policy at UNESCO. Watch the session recording. During this session, Dr. Bankston discussed the joint call for papers and competition for an upcoming JSPG Special Issue on Open Science Policies as an Accelerator for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, co-sponsored by UNESCO & MGCY, in partnership with the GYA Open Science Working Group. The call for papers is centered around the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science, which was adopted by the 41st session of UNESCO General Conference in November 2021, and provides an international framework for open science policy and practice. Read the UNESCO Recommendation. During an online information meeting on the Implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science in April 2022, Ms. Ana Persic, Programme Specialist, Science Technology and Innovation Policy at UNESCO, highlighted the joint call for papers. View the meeting recording. To support the implementation of the UNESCO Recommendation, UNESCO convened 5 ad-hoc Working Groups focused on key impact areas. Among them, the Working Group on Open Science Policies and Policy Instruments aims to develop a global repository of open science policies and policy instruments, including a series of supporting tools that will constitute an online ‘living’ Open Science Toolkit.

I’m very proud of the depth and range of insight and policy analysis our authors have provided on this urgent, timely topic,” said Andy Sanchez, JSPG’s Assistant Editor-in-Chief for Special Editions. In the 9 published articles, authors in this special topics issue of JSPG highlight challenges and solutions to issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM education, touch upon civic science as a means for scientists to engage more broadly in society, and challenge assumptions on the STEM workforce through novel entry points and empowerment of workers in the field. “The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed numerous deficiencies in U.S. STEM education and workforce development systems,” said Jamie Vernon, Executive Director and CEO of Sigma Xi. “The innovative early career authors featured in this issue have identified systemic changes that could improve educational and workforce development outcomes for future generations, and their published work has the potential to greatly improve the landscape of the field for all.” The Special Topics Issue competition, judged by an external review committee, provided winning authors of the top 3 publications with opportunities to receive monetary awards, present their published papers at future Sigma Xi events, including the International Forum on Research Excellence (IFoRE), and submit a piece to Sigma Xi’s award-winning publication, American Scientist. The magazine submission opportunities for authors are still to come and will be announced at a later date. The winners of the JSPG & Sigma Xi competition for the Special Topics Issue are as follows:
We thank competition reviewers for their efforts and greatly appreciate their input towards selecting the winners: Greer Arthur (NC Policy Collaboratory); Allison Augustus-Wallace (Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center); Laura Bartock (Association of Science and Technology Centers); Ariana Eily (Initiative for Science and Society, Duke University); Matthew Garcia (Strategic Policy Consulting in Economic and Workforce Development); Andrew George (Sigma Xi); Tammy Long (Michigan State University); Barbara J. Natalizio (pd|hub); Mary Lou O’Donnell (Department of Energy, Office of Science); Jylana Sheats (Science & Society Program, Aspen Institute) and Jeff Toney (Department of Philosophy and Linguistics, MIT). “Through this Special Topics Issue, JSPG is proud to partner with Sigma Xi to offer the next generation the opportunity to bring their innovative ideas to light, to create systemic change and to disseminate their published work on STEM education and workforce development towards a better future for all,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG’s CEO and Managing Publisher.
