Diversity and inclusion in research refers to the practice of ensuring that research teams and projects are representative of a variety of perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. This includes promoting diversity in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and other factors, as well as ensuring that all individuals feel included and valued in the research process. By prioritizing diversity and inclusion, researchers can enhance the quality and relevance of their work, and contribute to a more equitable and just society.
