Proje Özeti

Objective

This project covers (1) IUPAC’s contributions to the second phase of International Council of Science (ICS) Gender Gap project (IUPAC project 2017-007-1-020), and (2) work specific to the field of chemistry to use the results of the ISC project to elucidate the situation with respect to gender in chemistry and to identify possible actions to improve the situation.

The first phase of the project was conducted during 2017-2019 with the International Mathematical Union as lead 1 and IUPAC as lead 2 along with 11 other international scientific unions. As an extension, part (1) of this project aims for three priorities:

a) to use current technology to provide data access by the unions (and individual researchers we would approve) to the data collected in the Global Survey of Scientists, while protecting the privacy of the respondents to the survey.
b) to maintain and develop the interactive tools about publications and the data base of good practices.
c) to continue research on the open problems identified by the project.

Part 2 will focus on three activities:

a) Query of the results of the Gender Gap project survey to further elucidate the situation with respect to chemistry;
b) Further study of publication patterns in chemistry journals;
c) Identify good practice initiatives in chemistry.
