The Cell Biology Education Consortium: Path to Publication (CBEC: P2P) research collaborative network is intended to assist primarily undergraduate institution (PUI) faculty with publishing research in a peer-reviewed journal. Conducting and publishing research can be challenging at PUIs where high faculty teaching responsibilities are balanced with mentoring of undergraduate research students and teams. This project will address this publication disconnect by helping faculty prepare single-figure manuscripts from their data, advancing faculty and their students on a pathway to publication. By reducing barriers to publication, faculty can help students take ownership of the manuscript preparation process while generating their own publication record that will help with career advancement. Collectively, this will help faculty build their research credentials and allow undergraduate students and faculty to become published authors in a recognized scientific journal. The infrastructure established by this project supports the enhancement, expansion, and sustainability of undergraduate cell biology-related research. Overall, the development of freely accessible resources that highlight a clear path to publication improves the STEM pipeline, helps to retain PUI faculty, and will serve as a model for other disciplines. This project addresses a need expressed by cell biology educators that while the quality of undergraduate research is high, faculty often do not have the time to generate the extensive data required to publish research in traditional scientific journals requiring multiple result figures. Here a workflow for a path to publication for CBEC faculty and students will be developed that results in publication of a single-figure research paper in microPublication Biology, a fully citable journal platform. This workflow will be a step-by-step mechanism that allows CBEC: P2P faculty to submit a single-figure paper to network leaders, receive feedback, resubmit for further comments, and ultimately submit their work for publication in microPublication Biology. To further enhance research success, CBEC: P2P will also help faculty align their class-based research with the path to publication workflow. The protocols developed will be freely shared with others as open education resources. This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure, and the Directorate for STEM Education, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/), and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

细胞生物学教育联盟：出版道路（CBEC：P2P）研究合作网络旨在在同行评审期刊上主要协助大学学院（PUI）教师进行出版研究。在PUI上进行和出版研究可能是具有挑战性的，在PUI上，高级教师教学责任与本科生研究专业的学生和团队之间的指导平衡。 该项目将通过帮助教师从其数据中准备单位数字手稿，使教职员工及其学生在出版途径上脱颖而出，以解决该出版物的脱节。 通过减少出版的障碍，教师可以帮助学生拥有手稿准备过程的所有权，同时产生自己的出版记录，这将有助于实现职业发展。总的来说，这将有助于教师建立他们的研究证书，并允许本科生和教师成为公认的科学杂志上发表的作者。该项目建立的基础设施支持与本科生物学相关研究的增强，扩展和可持续性。总体而言，开发自由访问的资源，突出了一条清晰的出版道路，可以改善STEM管道，有助于保留PUI教师，并将作为其他学科的典范。 该项目解决了细胞生物学教育者表达的需求，尽管本科研究的质量很高，但教师通常没有时间生成在需要多个结果数字的传统科学期刊上发布研究所需的大量数据。在这里，将为CBEC教师和学生开发出版物的工作流程，从而导致出版一份单位数字研究论文，该论文是一个完全可提及的期刊平台的微型出版物生物学。该工作流程将是一种逐步的机制，允许CBEC：P2P教师向网络领导者提交单位数字纸，接收反馈，重新提交进一步的评论，并最终提交其在微观出版物生物学上出版的工作。为了进一步提高研究成功，CBEC：P2P还将帮助教师将基于班级的研究与出版工作流程的途径保持一致。开发的协议将与他人自由共享作为开放教育资源。 This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences, Division of Biological Infrastructure, and the Directorate for STEM Education, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/), and the Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR).This award reflects NSF's法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的审查标准来评估的值得支持的。
