  title = {Improving Women{\textquoteright}s Advancement in Political Science: What We Know About What Works},
  abstract = {<p>Women earn approximately half of all bachelor{\textquoteright}s degrees in political science but<br />
they comprise only 22\% of full professors. Scholars have offered various likely explanations<br />
and proposed many interventions to improve women{\textquoteright}s advancement. This article reviews<br />
existing research regarding the effectiveness of these interventions. We find that many of<br />
the proposed interventions have yet to be fully evaluated. Furthermore, some of the policies<br />
that have been evaluated turn out to be ineffective. Women{\textquoteright}s mentoring and networking<br />
workshops are the most promising of the fully tested interventions. The potential for<br />
failure underscores the need for additional evaluation of any proposed intervention before<br />
widespread implementation.</p>
