Researchers submitting original research to Nature over the past year will have noticed an extra question, asking them to self-report their gender. Analysis of data from nearly 5,000 papers submitted over a five-month period reveals a low representation of women as corresponding authors in submissions to Nature.
Are you looking for data on gender or racial disparities in funding, best practices to host more inclusive meetings, testimonials and insights from diverse scientists, or examples of institutional actions to support mental health and well-being? Find all this and more on the searchable ALBA database of over 1000 resources, curated and categorised by topic, type and group identity.
With this database, we hope to foster an environment of awareness and learning, support individuals and organisations in their DEI efforts, and promote best practices and tools to achieve equity and inclusion.
