A new study claims that language related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in scientific publications has increased by 4,200% between 2010 and 2021.
The National Association of Scholars published a report in late November outlining the sharp increase in DEI-related language being used on university websites, university social media accounts, academic associations, scientific publications, and scientific grants.
By analyzing several different repositories of scientific publications, the study observed a substantial increase in DEI-related language use.
“From this analysis, it is clear that IED-related publications have increased considerably in the scientific literature, especially in recent years,” the study states. “Across four different repositories: Web of Science, Google Scholar, arXiv, and PubMed, the general pattern holds. When this data set is compared to that of university websites and Twitter feeds, the yearly programs of the academic partnerships and research funding, one general conclusion can be drawn: Empirical evidence clearly shows that the vocabulary of DEI ideology has increased dramatically in frequency in STEM fields, both inside and outside universities.”

For example, the study analyzed the Web of Science, which is “among the world’s largest business citation indexes,” and found that “reports on anti-racist and DEI-related topics have grown between 3 and 42 times faster than reports.” scientific issues in general. on the Science Web”.
On PubMed, the study found that the Biomedical Research Database has published an increasing number of publications containing the words “anti-racism,” “critical race theory,” “oppression” and other DEI-related terms between 2010 and 2021.

Analyzing the Twitter accounts of 100 universities, the study found that the number of “DEI-related” tweets gradually increased at a slow pace from 2010 to 2019, then spiked rapidly in 2020.

“University Twitter feeds show a similar pattern in DEI language use on university websites: a modest but steady amount of growth in DEI language use, with a large spike in the summer of 2020. This spike is almost certainly an accompaniment to the Black Lives Matter riots,” the study states.
