Diverse and Inclusive Text, Images, and Citations

Support diversity and inclusion in writing and research!  Read about the necessity of including diverse references in your writing/research and strategies for finding them.  Learn how to utilize language and images to further JEID principles. 

Citation Audit Tools

How can you tell if you are using diverse references and resources?  There are some tools out there to help but note that these are imperfect.  You may get a sense of the ethnic, racial, and gender diversity of your references, but other aspects of diversity such as gender, sexual identity, and disability may not be discernable. The best way to increase the diversity of your citations is to expand where you look for information about your research area and realizing that there are multiple ways that knowledge is produced.
