“Data shows that women and minorities are selectively sorted out of engineering, math and science careers.”
Dr. Anjelica Gonzalez, biomedical engineer, scientist, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Yale University. “Her Scientific Discovery: Support”, New York Times Feb 25 2017
Open science thrives when every voice can be heard. LSEF Preprint Picks highlights preprints authored by researchers from underrepresented backgrounds, selected and reviewed by our volunteers. We aim to increase visibility, provide meaningful feedback, and support equitable participation in life science publishing.
Amplifying Underrepresented Voices
The Life Science Editors Foundation participated in NASA’s Year of Open Science with the Transform to Open Science (TOPS) initiative. We encourage you to read the TOPS Open Science Guide, join the TOPS email list, and participate in TOPS events. To deepen this mission, we created LSEF Preprint Picks, a program designed to amplify research from scientists who have historically been excluded from the scientific spotlight.
