EASE Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Survey

Keeping in mind our mission to strive toward equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) for all authors, reviewers, publishers, editors, and other key stakeholders, EASE is working with several industry partners through the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Communication (C4DISC) to support the roles of those involved in making science more equitable.   

Our aim is to decrease gaps in the application of EDI practices for our stakeholder community. Accordingly, the EDI Committee of EASE are conducting a study in which we will set out to discover more about stakeholders’ roles, policies and current practices surrounding EDI and their intentions going forward. 

The study will be open from 3 January to 31 January 2024. Everyone across the community is encouraged to participate by completing a short survey (less than 10 minutes) in this timely and important initiative. 

The survey is anonymous and contains questions about your workplace characteristics and perceptions of EDI. Your responses will help us establish action plans and measure progress towards greater diversity, equity, and inclusion. This information will be used to inform further work and the development of tools and guidelines to improve diversity across editorial, publishing, and peer review processes. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us c/o [email protected]. 

Take a look at the latest activities and resources from the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee at EASE and C4DISC. 

The survey will be open for approximately 4 weeks. The results will be published in Spring 2024 and disseminated in a free webinar: Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Survey results and next steps on 19 March.  Register now!

We look forward to hearing your opinions!
