Dear EDCH Community,
The European Association of Science Editors (EASE) is proud to support the dissemination of the Guidelines for Intersectional Analysis in Science and Technology (GIST), developed by Londa Schiebinger from Stanford University and colleagues. These guidelines, along with the detailed checklist (Table 1), are a crucial roadmap for researchers, editors, and funding agencies to systematically integrate intersectional analysis into quantitative science and technology research.
Implementing GIST is essential for ensuring that scientific and technological research promotes rigorous and reproducible results, which, in turn, enhances global equity and sustainability.
We have already completed translations in Chinese, Japanese (take a look!), Korean, and Ukrainian. To further share this vital resource with the global community and maximize its impact, we are urgently seeking volunteer translators!
We are specifically looking for native speakers who can help us translate the GIST Guidelines into:
-
German
-
French
-
Spanish
Why Volunteer?
-
Develop Terminology: Translating these guidelines is more than just sharing content; it’s an opportunity to actively participate in the development of precise, culturally sensitive, and discipline-specific intersectional terminology in your language. This helps standardize scientific reporting across linguistic barriers.
-
Global Impact: You will be helping to spread a crucial best practice document endorsed by EASE, enabling broader adoption by journals, funding bodies, and researchers worldwide.
-
Networking: Join a collaborative effort led by EASE and contribute directly to better science. We plan to organise dissemination events and welcome the opportunity to hear about your experience!
If you are interested in joining this important initiative and helping us make GIST an indispensable tool for every researcher and editor, please reply to this thread or contact me directly!
Let’s work together to ensure that intersectional analysis becomes the standard default in research, where appropriate, leading to more accurate and equitable outcomes for everyone.
Thank you for your valuable contribution to the scientific editing community!
Best regards,
Iryna Izarova, EASE Ukraine Chapter Chair; EASE Council Member and Chair of the Regional Chapters Committee
