Standard Operating Procedures

Research Misconduct Policy: Project WiCCED will follow NSF’s Research Misconduct policy, found at: https://www.nsf.gov/oig/regulations/. 
 
Sexual Harassment Policy: Project WiCCED does not tolerate sexual harassment or any kind of harassment. We recommend following the “Promising Practices” of NSF, found at: https://www.nsf.gov/od/odi/promising_practices/index.jsp. Additionally, we will follow the sexual harassment policies of each institution involved in the project, linked below.
Authorship Protocols: Prior to starting a project with peer-reviewed publication(s), we recommend Project WiCCED team members agree upon an authorship protocol in advance. Information about Authorship Protocols are detailed on the Resources page of the Project WiCCED website. 
 
Diversity Policy: Project WiCCED is dedicated to supporting and celebrating diversity. To assist with this, we have developed the Project WiCCED Diversity Plan. Additional resources to assist with diversity are available in the Project WiCCED Shared Google Drive, under the “Diversity Plan and Recruitment Strategies” page.
 

Authorship Protocols

In an effort to assist Project WiCCED team members with authorship considerations, we have developed the helpful list below for authorship protocols:

  1. Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)
  2. Authorship Protocols – Vancouver rules
  3. Authorship-recommendations

Mentoring Resources

In an interest to help guide mentoring for Project WiCCED, we are providing a number of resources/examples for team members to consider.
