DEI, critical race theory language in scientific publications increases by 4,200% between 2010 and 2021: study

A new study claims that language relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in scientific publications has increased by 4,200% between 2010 and 2021.

The National Association of Scholars released a report in late November outlining the steep increase of DEI-related language being used on university websites, university social media accounts, academic associations, scientific publications, and scientific grants.

Analyzing several different repositories for scientific publications, the study saw a substantial increase in DEI-related language being used.
