About Elsevier Products & Solutions Services Shop & Discover Home About Inclusion & Diversity Advisory Board Inclusion & Diversity Advisory Board Improving gender balance in academic research globally Meet the Board Inequities in academic research are manifested in many different ways: from the low proportion of women who are tenured professors, to the low rates of grants awarded to women and researchers who are members of underrepresented racial & ethnic groups in research, to the lack of appropriate sex and gender-based analysis in research studies. As a global leader in research information & analytics and scientific publishing, Elsevier can make an impact in key areas to enhance diversity and inclusion in research across gender, race & ethnicity, and geographical dimensions and ensure that research is conducted and reported in the most equitable and inclusive manner possible.
