Writing and submission
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2025 9:59 am
There is a contradiction at work here: while political actors continue to refer (crudely) to class differences in the empirical description of the attainment gap, they appear blind to the causal role of class (they say it cannot be an excuse) and to the possibility of policy solutions aimed at tackling inequality at root.
The academic team led the article writing with two student groups’ written contributions. The journal’s word limit was 1,000 words. We committed 250 words to each group’s verbatim, unedited writing – half the article. We supported the young austria consumer email list people in drafting, but they had final say. We framed their contribution with the project context and our own reflections. We all, including the young people, had oversight of the finished piece – a true collaborative writing experience.
The real challenges started when we submitted to the publisher’s online system, which required authors’ forenames and surnames, affiliations and email addresses. We couldn’t provide surnames nor email addresses for the young people, as we had no ethical clearance for revealing their identities. A forenames-only approach kept them relatively anonymous, yet accredited. (We still felt this signalled an inequality in authorship: maybe we should have all been first names only?) We relied on a note to the editors to state our intent about the full author list, and asked for these names to be added at publication stage.
