Perspectives on disparities in scientific visibility

Nature Reviews Materials, Published online: 03 June 2021; doi:10.1038/s41578-021-00329-5Scientific visibility is key to an academic career and rooted in the traditional academic cycle of training, (informal) connections, support, publications, citations, recognition and funding — a cycle from which under-represented groups are often excluded. In this...
