AWoP: shorter subtitle, overview and toolkit text (for the authors to review)
Shorter wording for the AWoP page, for the AWoP authors to review. Until now these cuts were part of #1118. They are now separate, so the page keeps the authors' original wording unless they agree. Only the text changes. The layout (the wheel beside the title, the toolkit cards) is already on the base branch.
Needs the authors' review: do the shortened subtitle and overview still say what the AWoP is and does? Edits are welcome as suggestions on this PR.
The three changes
1. Subtitle (beside the title, at the top of the page)
| Now | Proposed |
|---|---|
| An equity-based tool for authorship order | An equity-based tool that helps research teams decide authorship order, especially when contributions are hard to compare |
2. Overview, first paragraph
| Now | Proposed |
|---|---|
| Who goes first? Authorship order in academia is not just a matter of protocol but a critical determinant of research impact and professional advancement. However, the decision-making process often overlooks justice and equity, leading to a skewed distribution of authorship that favors privileged individuals, thereby exacerbating credit disparities for marginalized researchers. In response, we introduce the Academic Wheel of Privilege (AWoP): a comprehensive toolkit anchored by an app and supplemented with educational materials designed to guide equitable authorship order decisions. | Who goes first? Authorship order shapes research impact and careers, yet decisions about it often overlook equity and favour privileged researchers. The Academic Wheel of Privilege (AWoP) is a toolkit, an app with educational materials, that helps teams decide authorship order equitably, especially where contributions are hard to compare or bias may play a part. |
The two paragraphs after it ("The AWoP transcends traditional frameworks…" and "The Academic Wheel of Privilege aims to reform…") are unchanged. They move into a closed "Why the AWoP" section under the first paragraph, so the toolkit is reached sooner.
3. Toolkit: two sentences go, because the three cards below them say the same:
- "We provide a comprehensive suite of resources within the AWoP toolkit:"
- "The App is a dynamic tool that allows users to generate customized weighted indicators of privilege across key socio-economic and cultural identity categories. It helps users actively identify and consider privilege in authorship decisions, facilitating equitable and transparent authorship order determination."
The page's meta description (the text search engines show) is not touched here. It is already a short summary written for #1118: "Who goes first? Authorship order shapes research impact and careers, yet decisions about it often overlook equity and favour privileged researchers."
Based on rebrand-doors, which now has #1118.
