PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide a brief history of the evolution of the Diana Project and the Diana International Research Conference. The authors examine the impact of the publications, conferences and research contributions and consider key factors in the success of this collaborative research organization. They discuss the ongoing legacy, suggesting ways to extend this into the future.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses an historical narrative and a citation analysis.FindingsThe Diana Project was founded by five women professors in 1999 with the purpose of investigating women’s access to growth capital. Following a series of academic articles, and numerous presentations, the first Diana International Conference was held in Stockholm, Sweden. At this convening, 20 scholars from 13 countries shared their knowledge of women’s entrepreneurship, venture creation and growth, culminating in the first volume of the Diana Book Series. Since then, 14 international conferences have been held, resulting in 10 special issues of top academic journals and 11 books. More than 600 scholars have attended or participated in Diana conferences or publications.Research limitations/implicationsContributions from the Diana International Conferences’ special issues of journals and books have advanced theory across topics, levels, geographies and methods. Articles emerging from Diana scholars are some of the top contributions about women’s entrepreneurship and gender to the field of entrepreneurship. Future research directions are included.Practical implicationsThis analysis demonstrates the success of a unique woman-focused collaborative research initiative and identifies key success factors, suggesting how these might be expanded in the future.Social implicationsTo date, more than 600 scholars have participated in the Diana International Conferences or publications. Diana is the only community dedicated to rigorous and relevant research about gender and women’s entrepreneurship. Going forward, efforts to expand work on education for women’s entrepreneurship, women entrepreneurship faculty and careers, and women entrepreneurs, gender and policy will take place to extend this legacy.Originality/valueThe paper is unique in that it is the first to show the substantial legacy and impact of the Diana project since its inception in 1999. Further, it demonstrates how a feminist approach to entrepreneurial principles can yield insights about this unique research initiative and collaborative organization.

Of late philosophers have begun to write about the implications of research in social and personality psychology for the study of ethics. The spirit of this movement is that ethics should be founded on a realistic conception of human nature and that social and personality psychology have important things to say about these matters. Examples of philosophers involved in this movement are, inter alia, and most prominently, Doris, Flanagan, Harman, and Vranas. On the psychologists’ side, Ross and Nisbett are the most prominent examples of those attempting to insure that the findings of psychology find their way into our conception of human nature. We want to sign up for this movement too. But we are afraid that these philosophers and psychologists have drawn wrong conclusions from psychological results. We believe the lesson to be learned is substantially narrower than the movement seems to believe.

Forest-ungulate interactions: monitoring, modeling and management

should be recognized as important to our readers and to the practice. The recognition that issues of historical discrimination and the consequent need to address issues of diversifying the workforce emerged as a central theme from this discussion. It was determined that a special issue of the Journal would be appropriate as a venue to present a comprehensive overview of the types of discrimination that have been, and to a great extent still are, pervasive in the workforce, and in particular in the white-male-dominated practice of engineering. Special issues of ASCE journals are typically edited by an outstanding member of the engineering community designated as a “special editor.” We were most fortunate in having Dr. James Jim H. Johnson Jr., Dean of the College of Engineering, Architecture, and Computer Science at Howard University, consent to take on this important role. Jim has worked tirelessly with other outstanding leaders to put together this special issue to address diversity in a number of significant areas. I sincerely hope that our readers will find these articles enlightening and helpful in clarifying possible confusion and/or perhaps misunderstanding regarding the need for diversity in our engineering community. We cannot thank Jim and the contributing authors enough for taking their valuable time to contribute to this special issue.

Within the business ethics field, the presumption of the unit of analysis as a large firm has always been the norm. In recent years, however, recognition that this narrow approach is inappropriate has been rising. Journal special issues on the topic of smaller businesses and ethics can be found in both business, and ethics journals, but have been regional in perspective, with examples from the United States (Harris et al., 2009) and most consistently, Europe (Spence & Rutherfoord, 2003; Moore & Spence, 2006; Morsing & Perrini, 2009). Unfortunately, there is much less to report in terms of research on small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries.

This special issue of The Journal of Ethics is devoted to ethical considerations of the use of neuroscience in the criminal justice system. In this introduction, an overview is provided of the different topics dealt with in the volume.
