====================================================================



What's Covered:


Editors and writers know that talking about implicit bias in an article can be tricky but essential, especially in a "post-truth" world, and can ultimately lead to more inclusive and accurate content. Among researchers, talk of bias in the role of peer review for scholarly communication continues to include diverging opinions and demands for change.

During this 90- minute webinar, Lisa Phillips, senior content editor at EBSCO Information Services, shares four case studies of bias in content, and examines the bias that exists, by whom, and the solutions that can be implemented so that knowledge continues to flow in a way that does not circumvent the relationship between researchers and reviewers, and supports a reliable scholarly communication process based on sound research practice, academic reward, and funding.

In this NFAIS Webinar, April 19, 2017, attendees will learn:

  *   The difference between implicit and explicit bias, and the challenges that surround both.
  *   The importance of addressing implicit bias in content from the end user/reader perspective.
  *   How to take an intersectional approach to understanding the adverse effects of bias on demographic groups.
  *   How to improve feedback, communication and guidelines between editors, reviewers and authors.
