My colleagues and I ran panel discussions for science & engineering college major focused on balancing family with careers in science/engineering/computer science research. We have nice data two years in a row to show the outcomes in changed attitudes. Can someone suggest a good journal for a short paper? This was one activity in an undergraduate research program designed to attract more students to careers in science and engineering/computer science research.
Anna, some suggestions include: the NACE Journal (National Association for Colleges & Employers) www.naceweb.org (I don't think it is a peer-reviewed journal, however), or NCDA (National Career Development Association) www.ncda.org, Journal of College Student Development, http://www2.myacpa.org/publications/jcsd, and many more could be found in ERIC the Education Resources Information Center, www.eric.ed.gov, "Search a bibliographic database of more than 1.1 million citations on education topics going back to 1966." There is a lot of interest among college and university career development professionals in STEM majors. Also consider the journal Science - www.AAAS.org or possibly AWIS-Association for Women in Science for more leads. Hope that helps!
Anna, the Career Development Quarterly is a good option. This journal is published by the National Career Development Association of the USA. The journal covers empirical research and evaluations of interventions. You may also want to consider the Australian Journal of Career Development which is now published by SAGE.
