Second One for this Series

We released the second in a our series of studies on Women in Construction (HERE). This one I wrote solo. It is VERY dry. It has a "just the facts, ma'am" appeal to it,  . . . quite intentionally. For each project, I intend to have an editorial article, a research report (like this one), and at least one white paper. 



This research report is a very basic statement of the facts of the survey. "It shows this, and it shows this, oh and also it shows this," on and on and on. It draws very few conclusions, in fact. I actually had to work to not make it more substantive. The more substantive conclusions will come with the white papers. 

I think it looks really good, though. Overall, I'm quite happy with it. The graphs look awesome. The lit review is a bit weak, but I was forced to do that. I wish the cover was a bit more compelling, but all in all I'm happy with this. 

When I set out to publish in this new role, this was my plan: 1) an editorial (HERE), 2) a research report (HERE), 3) a white paper, 4) another white paper with a different perspective, and 5) an academic article. So far, just 5 months in, I've published two of the five.

It's fun to see it all coming together. Slowly, sure, but it's coming together.
