About this Research Topic
We are pleased to announce the launch of the "Women in Science: Electronic Materials" Research Topic in Frontiers in Electronic Materials.
At present, less than 30% of all researchers worldwide are women and similar ratios are seen in the science community, particularly in the US. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Electronic Materials proudly presents a platform to promote the work of women researchers, scientists, engineers, and specialists across all fields of study related to the field of Electronic Materials. The collection aims to demonstrate the diversity of research in theory, experiment, and methodology, featuring advancements and applications to compelling problems, performed across the entire breadth of Electronic Materials.
Please note: For inclusion, the first or last author must identify as a woman, but exceptions can be made with editorial approval.
