Other researchers have looked across the sciences at how openness about queer identity correlates with publication rates. In two surveys, Jeremy Yoder, an evolutionary biologist at California State University, Northridge, and two colleagues found that “folks who describe themselves as not able to fully express themselves report higher workplace stress, less satisfaction, and less sense of belonging,” says Yoder. Those factors, in turn, reduce productivity, he says. Their first survey, conducted in 2013, included 633 LGBT+ scientists. In 2016 the researchers surveyed 1116 LGBT+ scientists and, for comparison, 629 scientists who were cisgender and straight. They discuss both surveys in a March 2022 paper.
