@kreskenn Can you try again, I changed the link to the full URL.

Let us know if you use the #AcademicWheelOfPrivilege in your authorship teams or in other academic contexts!

You can also follow along for updates on the Academic Wheel of Privilege on FORRT’s:
Website: https://forrt.org/awop
Slack Channel: https://forrt.slack.com/archives/C03UNM4KD7E

Though mainly guiding authorship decisions, the AWoP has wider use cases: our materials can help teams discuss positionality and understand each others' perspectives and experiences as part of general team wellbeing.

The first version of the Academic Wheel of Privilege (Elsherif et al. 2022) gained a lot of traction and social media attention! We considered feedback and consulted a diverse group of experts to make it robust, ethical, and more useful to the wider community. 100+ experts gave 30+ reviews 💚

This framework includes (https://forrt.org/awop):

🎡 Customisable app + user guide
💭 Reflection questions
🎓 Case study on first-gen academics
⛔ Examples of academic privilege & disadvantage
📄 Extended bibliography
📚 📚 Syllabus covering 14 key DEIA topics for long-term learning

Resources: https://osf.io/pfxqb/overview

A guide to using the Academic Wheel of Privilege reflexively outlined in six key steps: Examine, prepare, evaluate, record, reflect and learn.

Authorship in academia often decides who is hired, funded or celebrated. Current authorship order methods like randomised or alphabet author lists are not equitable. (see: https://forrt.org/awop)

An illustration of how authorship ordering methods differ in focus using a
hypothetical example of contributions to a research study from a multi-authorship team (a).
Integrating the Academic Wheel of Privilege (AWoP) in authorship order decisions into the
CRediT framework (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) is more equitable than contributorship
focused methods like alphabetisation (b) or randomisation (c). The AWoP considers both
contributions of authors and redresses imbalances of academic privilege (d). e) shows what a
solely equity-focused authorship order would look like, where authors are positioned with
increasing privilege along the author list based on AWoP scores shown in (a).

🎡 New preprint 🎡

We’re *SUPER* excited to share 🌟 The Academic Wheel of Privilege 💫 which an equity-based tool for authorship order.

Authorship order is often treated as a technical or administrative detail. But it is also tied to recognition, promotion, prestige, & career opportunity. When authorship decisions are framed as “neutral”—for example through convention, alphabetization, or randomization—they may still reproduce existing inequities rather than correct them.

The Academic Wheel of Privilege showing the 24 socio-cultural identities. The 24 socio-cultural identity types span six sectors: health and wellbeing, society, culture and communication, gender and sexuality, education and career, living arrangements and lastly childhood and development. These identity types are shown as circles connected to three concentric rings (outer, middle and inner) of “identity” circles with increasing privilege as you go towards the centre.

@FORRT

Love this tool and this project, I've added this to my #toReadList, but also to my #UsefulTool list!

📣 We are excited to announce that FORRT is one of the few initiatives worldwide to be formally endorsed as a Programme of the International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (IDSSD, 2024–2033)! 🎉
FORRT’s work in 🎓Education & Pedagogy (Curriculum Hub), 🔎 Metascience & Research (Replication Hub) and ⚖️ Social Justice & DEIA is an essential contribution to the UN’s strategy for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 🎯
Go to https://forrt.org/awards/ to find out more!

...or something we haven’t thought of! We're open to consider new directions from the community!

🌱 Let's dream of better OS communities together! 🌱

Nominate yourself or someone else here: https://forms.gle/FLR5gDZXnaSihVy56

(The survey has just ONE short question: tell us who they are and what they could bring and contact info. We’ll work together to find the best fit)

🌟 Have you ever thought about helping shape the future of FORRT? 🌟

At our 🏔️ Leadership Summit, we decided to create a 🚀Steering Committee 🚀 to guide our next chapter: now we’re looking for nominations (self- or others) 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ for people who can bring skills, ideas, and energy to running our community. This could mean leading (or helping lead) in areas like:

🎯 Metascience
📚 Education & Training
🏳️‍🌈 DEIA in OS
💬 Community Building
📢 Advocacy & Outreach
💰 Fundraising
🤝 Partnerships
⚙️ Operations

🚨 Exciting new program from the OSC!
This September, we will launch our Train-the-Trainer program through the instructor training track at the Open Science Summer School. Here’s all the information about it 👇

Turning knowledge into action! 💡 Led by Dr. Sarah von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn and supported by Dr. Sara Lil Middleton, this program aims to guide and equip participants in learning, practicing, and training students and other researchers in Open Science 🔬

🤝 A key strength of the program is our partnership with FORRT, the Framework for Open and Reproducible Research Training (@FORRT). Together, we’re building a community of trainers who don’t just talk about open science but teach it!

Let’s get these tools polished and out there together!🚀

We’ll be working on:

FReD R package and two Shiny apps:

🧭 FReD Explorer – browse the replication dataset, assess effect sizes & replicability.
🔗 https://forrt.org/apps/fred_explorer.html
📎 FReD Annotator – annotates reference lists with replication findings, making it much easier to use replications in teaching and manuscripts, to ensure our claims are evidence-based.
🔗 https://forrt.org/apps/fred_annotator.html

⚙️The FORRT Replication Hub provides resources and tools for replication research, including our centralized database (FReD) that helps researchers access information about past replication efforts and promotes transparency in the field.

FORRT Replication Hub Hackathon 🎉
We’re hosting an online coding session to polish our replication tools — and we’d love your help!
