Diversity, equity, and inclusion in academia to guide society

Abstract

Many barriers exist in academia. Shedding light on scholars from marginalized groups is important for scientific publishing and policy-science dialogs to ensure equity, beyond merely aiming to increase the numbers to achieve equality. Achieving diversity, inclusiveness, and equality in academia is not the goal, but an essential means of realizing a sustainable future.

Keywords: academic expert; cultural barrier; gender barrier; linguistic barrier; science–policy interface.
