About this Research Topic
We are delighted to present the inaugural 'Women in Science: Geochemistry” series of article collections.
‘You can do anything you put your mind to’. This is what we are told by our parents. ‘There’s nothing stopping you from going into Science’ this is what our teachers say.
We can make THIS a reality.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. 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. Without gender equality in science, scientific progress will fulfill just half of its potential.
Therefore, Frontiers in Geochemistry is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, in this specific field of geoscience.
This Research Topic would like to highlight the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Geochemistry and will present advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
We welcome submissions with topics that include, but are not limited to:
- Biogeochemistry
- Environmental Geochemistry
- Mineral Geochemistry
- Organic Geochemistry
- Solid Earth Geochemistry
We strongly encourage the submission of manuscripts where the lead and/or corresponding author is female, and we recommend early career researchers team up with senior female colleagues. However, we will welcome the submission of any article within the scope above irrespective of gender.
For this special research topic, we are offering a 20% discount on the article processing charges, for the first 5 submitted articles from invited contributors (if accepted after peer review).
