Dr. Clark Holdsworth
Senior Manager, Communications & Partnerships (LetPub)
Dr. Holdsworth oversees communications projects and partnerships at LetPub. LetPub has thousands of interactions with authors and journals annually. Dr. Holdsworth and the Learning Nexus Team filter these experiences into an intuitive and effective educational experience for authors and journal editors.
At some point in your research career, and perhaps at many points, you may find yourself having to make decisions regarding someone else or their work. For reviewers, giving feedback and recommending rejection or publication is part and parcel of the task. Editors, similarly, will be making decisions about people’s work and may also be making appointments to other positions. Authors will also make choices about whom they choose to work with and whose work they read and cite. Just knowing the name of the person could give clues about gender or ethnicity and may be enough to allow an unconscious bias to impact a decision.
Breaking our own biases is one way we can all help create a more equitable world, a more equitable research landscape, and lead to better science.
On March 29th. 9am ET/2pm GMT join Shan Mukhtar, Director of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion at Wiley, Dr Clark Holdsworth, Senior Manager, Communications & Partnerships, LetPub, and Eti Moore, Researcher Engagement Manager, Hindawi.
You will receive a certificate of attendance after the session.
