Sarvenaz Sarabipour's research while affiliated with Johns Hopkins University and other places

... It It is worth noting that, prior to the pandemic, concerns about the mental well-being of researchers were already evident. This community operates within a culture that places a premium on productivity at the potential expense of well-being, and it seems to have normalized a pattern of chronic stress and an imbalanced work-life equilibrium (Bartlett et al., 2021;Bekkouche et al., 2021;Guthrie et al., 2018). Their work hours consistently exceed the norm, encompassing increasingly diversified roles and responsibilities within a hypercompetitive job security landscape. ...

... The participation of transmembrane proteins as independent docking sites with virus fragments served to explain the tissue tropism of SARS-CoV-2: selective ligands of the host cell molecules act as infection cofactors, including membrane-bound serine protease TMPRSS2, furin, cathepsin L, basigin, and neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) (Coutard et al., 2020;Daly et al., 2020). One of the new players in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 is the neuropilin protein (Sarabipour and Mac Gabhann, 2021). ...

... Discussion of significant attributes of exemplary mentors from young research mentees with inclusion of a self-assessment for reflection [84] Discussion of ten important practices of award-winning mentors based in literature research [85] Curricula and training resources for entering mentorship for various research disciplines denoted by career stage of the mentee [86] Workshop recording from the NIH Becoming a Resilient Scientist series discussing various aspects to participating in a mentoring relationship, including running meetings, solving conflicts between members, work style differences, expansion of the mentorship network, and managing up [87] Self-assessment to evaluate six competencies of mentorship, including effective communication, aligning expectations, assessing understanding, addressing diversity, fostering independence, and promoting professional development [88] Provides guidance about conflict resolution in a mentored relationship with examples of how to manage interactions and suggestions for mentees to proactively promote beneficial dynamics [89] Creating protocols Details the format, structure, components, and considerations to include for a detailed research protocol with examples [59,90] Teaching R A step-by-step resource of how to teach R in a workshop style with common issues of first-time students, code examples and exercises, and teaching schedule [91] Teaching scientific writing & manuscript preparation Discussion of barriers of undergraduate publication and 5 best practices to successfully mentor students to first authorship [92] Article detailing the "Results Formula Approach" to teach students to write an effective Results section [93] Teaching resource that discusses the value of undergraduates publishing with decision trees to determine whether publishing is an attainable goal for the project, whether the student has earned authorship, and whether they should serve as first author. Also included are recommended strategies for publishing with undergraduates. ...

... Many pre-existing examples of this format are open access (e.g. repro4everyone; Auer et al., 2021;Boyle et al., 2023); therefore, we encourage readers to search for examples that are relevant to the course formats and topics that interest them. ...

... The actions highlighted here do not aim to privilege minoritized groups over others, rather, they aim to provide an equitable platform, which allows everyone to fully participate in and lead marine research. There was discussion among the author group as to whether to advocate for positive discrimination, a position, which has been favoured in much of the literature and by a number of the author team (Manfredi, 2017;Gibson et al., 2020;de Winde et al., 2021;Llorens et al., 2021;Maas et al., 2021;Mori, 2021). Positive discrimination involves the use of "positive measures" or "special measures" to foster greater equality by supporting women and other minoritized groups who face, or have faced, entrenched discrimination, to ensure they have similar access to opportunities as others in the community (Australian Human Rights Commission, 2022). ...

... Re-assessing preparation for conferences is timely, given that in-person events are rapidly re-emerging. Innovations established due to COVID restrictions and now the climate challenges additionally spurred innovations in conferences formats, including new forms of poster sessions (Tao et al., 2021;Skiles et al., 2022) and as equity and inclusivity of traditional conference formats are being debated (Sarabipour et al., 2021), more innovations can be expected. Posters are now often presented both in-person and in virtual spaces, accompanied by poster-flash talks, or short recorded talks. ...

... Even if there is no page limit, aim for a concise letter of no more than two pages using 11-or 12-point Times New Roman or sans serif font. Long letters requiring the selection committee to search for the candidate's qualifications can be off-putting (Sarabipour et al., 2022). ...

... The audience was also quite diverse from new demographics, allowing participants to connect across borders and disciplines, noting that research and science are inherently transnational cross-border activities. Virtual conferences allow inclusive, accessible, and equitable meetings (Sarabipour, 2020). However, some challenges driven by systemic inequalities persisted, reducing the participation of under-represented communities (Olzmann, 2020). ...

... We expect a mentoring scheme within the CODECHECK community (experienced codecheckers will provide on-the-job training or serve as fall-back advisors). Codecheckers may also be found by collaborating with reproducible research initiatives such as ReproHack, ReproducibiliTea, 115 , and Repro4Everyone, 116 . ...

... For instance, OA uptake in business, management, and accounting fields is only 6% (Laakso & Björk, 2021), showing a low OA uptake in the Social Sciences (Piwowar et al., 2018). This may be a result of enduring opposition to OA by authors and publishers, lack of awareness, disciplinary norm or limited funding opportunities (de Winde et al., 2020;Eve, 2015). To analyze this further, a closer look at researchers' OA publishing practices in different stages of their careers is warranted. ...
