“An Examination of Research Participation, Career Progression and Perceptions Across the Globe”

As part of Elsevier’s ongoing efforts to promote gender diversity and advance gender equity in academia using a data-informed approach, it produced the latest “Global Gender Report: The Researcher Journey Through a Gender Lens.” The report examines critical issues and performance in research through a gender lens using quantitative and qualitative research methods covering 16 geographies across 26 subject areas: 

• Assessing gender diversity among researchers; 
• Measuring research footprint by gender; 
• Assessing author continuity and mobility; 
• Evaluating collaboration patterns; and 
• Perceptions about gender-related issues in academia. 

The goal of this effort was to elucidate the role gender plays within the research enterprise, offering powerful data-driven insights for universities and other institutions that inform evidence-based policies and interventions, and to inspire further research studies. This work is part of a broad commitment to promoting systemic change for greater gender inclusion and diversity across research, and for extending learnings into other dimensions of inclusion and diversity that cover intersecting social identities.

Kelvin Smith Library will host an event on the topic titled An Examination of Research Participation, Career Progression and Perceptions Across the Globe” Wednesday, April 7, from noon to 1 p.m. 

Registration is available online and open to those with a CWRU ID.
