While gender disparities in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines are widely noted, the citation gap is still understudied and awareness remains low. Here, we address citation inequity in physics and describe individual and collective mitigation initiatives, including the citation diversity statement.
All human activity generates a carbon footprint and scientific research is no exception; however, given the diversity in research activity, developing a standard approach to monitor environmental impact is complex. In this comment, the authors propose a framework for scientists to self-report emissions of research-related emissions in their papers as a means to gradually build an overview of the potential carbon footprint of scientific activity.
In order for terahertz devices to reach technological maturity, robust characterization methods and reliable metrics for comparison between studies must be defined. In this comment, the authors describe the challenges faced in obtaining robust power measurements in the terahertz regime, and summarize recent efforts to establish standards for this field.
