性別多樣性有助於產出更好的研究(英文)

研究環境中的性別多樣性可以推動科學發現,但是,為了充分發揮創新的潛力,必須在多個層面(從研究團隊到社會)培養包容性。
作者尼爾森說,多元化不僅僅意味著將各種研究團隊組合在一起。科學家還必須分析性/別如何影響他們所提出的問題以及他們用來獲取科學見解的方法。
作者為科學團隊、組織、學科和社團提供支持策略。尼爾森說:「我們鼓勵個別科學家,尤其是早期職業研究人員,從項目一開始就評估性/別對研究重點,問題和設計的重要性」。
原文標題:Why diversity helps to produce stronger research
Gender diversity in the research environment can drive scientific discovery, but, to fully realize the potential for innovation, inclusivity must be cultivated at multiple levels — from the research team to society, suggests a Perspective in Nature Human Behaviour.
Diversity, say the authors, means more than simply putting together diverse research teams. Scientists must also analyse how sex and gender shape the questions they ask and the methods they use to reach scientific insights, the authors note.
The authors provide support strategies for scientific teams, organizations, disciplines and societies. “We encourage individual scientists, particularly early-career researchers, to evaluate how gender and sex may be important to the research priorities, questions and design from the start of their projects,” Nielsen says.
