JSPG Celebrates a Decade as a Publishing Leader in Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy

WASHINGTON, DC (November 1, 2021) - The Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) is pleased to release Volume 19, Issue 01, marking 10 years since our first published standard issue in 2011. To commemorate this occasion, we have taken a historical perspective by focusing on Celebrating a Decade of Publishing Innovative Policy Solutions Designed by the Next Generation.
This standard issue of JSPG has 13 practical and innovative articles addressing topics such as food sustainability on land and sea; the intimate relationship between climate change, public health and security; and the need for institutional reforms that can lead to a more equitable and ethical policymaking process to improve our society.
READ THE FULL ISSUE >>
"This issue demonstrates the true breadth of expertise reflected in our authors at JSPG. I am particularly proud of how the authors have leveraged a critical eye to examine policy through the lens of environmental, health, regulatory and social justice needs,” said Ben Wolfson, JSPG Assistant Editor-in-Chief for Standard Editions. “Following in the precedents established by JSPG’s first standard issue, our authors continue to interrogate the impacts of science policy from university regulations to making policy recommendations addressing broad subjects such as regenerative agriculture and power grid resilience."

Similarly, 10 years ago, the first standard issue of JSPG had 7 outstanding articles addressing environmental policy areas such as reducing demand on groundwater sources and ocean acidification; health-related topics including research outputs related to Environmental, Health, & Safety, and the need for diversity in clinical trials; and ways to reform institutional infrastructures and incentives to fulfill our national objectives in research and highlight societal benefits of university research. ​
“The fact that 10 years apart, both of these standard issues focused largely on environmental, health and research policies, points out the evergreen nature of these policy topics, but also the incredibly innovative solutions designed by our authors to address critical and timely topics of their time,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG CEO & Managing Publisher. “This volume highlights solutions designed by the next generation to address evergreen policy topics in a manner that is adaptive to the needs of our society today." 
To reflect on these topics, JSPG’s Editor-in-Chief Rosie Dutt and CEO & Managing Publisher Adriana Bankston have co-authored a cover memo focused on empowering the next generation to leverage their innovative ideas published in the journal to make a positive impact in society today and into the future.

The Intersectional Science Policy competition and special topics issue create an opportunity for early career scientists to practice these skills while evaluating solutions to issues facing disadvantaged communities,” said Caitlin Warlick-Short, NSPN Director of Communications.

“The rewards and successes of scientific discovery have been limited by a failure to consider science’s intersection with diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice. To progress in science, we must represent all intersections of diversity in scientific effort and knowledge, evaluate research structures with an equitable and inclusive lens, and advance research in support of social and environmental justice,” said Emily Pinckney, Executive Director, 500 Women Scientists; Tiffany G. Harrison, Director, Public Policy Special Interest Group, National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) & Pamela A. Padilla, President, Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) in the cover memo for this issue.

Winning memos are as follows:

  • First place - Bridging The Gap: Demanding 1-1 Representation of Dark-Light Skin Tones Within Medical Lectures/Resources
  • Second place- Algorithm Transparency through the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
  • Third place (tie) - Addressing Racial Disparities in NIH Funding & Motor Vehicle Crash Testing Regulations for More Inclusive Populations

Honorable mentions:
  • Expanding Access to and Ensuring Equity in the Benefits of Remote Work Following the COVID-19 Pandemic
  • Period Poverty: A risk factor for people who menstruate in STEM
  • Decolonization of STEM in the Public Education System in Québec, Canada

“This special issue addresses important societal problems in education, work, health, the environment, and other areas, and provides policy solutions centered on diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice. We hope this issue will encourage early career scientists from backgrounds traditionally excluded from science policy conversations, to bring their ideas forward and contribute to international policy debates,” says Adriana Bankston, CEO of JSPG.
​
This special issue is also supported in-kind by the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), 500 Women Scientists and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE).
