The Best of ASGE Endoscopy from DDW | June 2021-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Debra Bowman, Senior Managing Editor of Clinical Publications for the ASGE, discusses the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in scientific journals. ASGE has a DEI committee to ensure diversity is considered in committee and board positions. Bowman wants to bring this awareness to GIE and explains the differences between diversity, inclusion, and equity. GIE now provides an optional form for authors to share information related to diversity in their articles. It does not impact article acceptance or rejection. The form covers aspects such as gender, ethnicity, and balance in recruitment, as well as attribution and location inclusion. The collected data may be reported in future issues of GIE, and around 38% of authors have agreed to participate in this initiative so far.
