Abstract
Recent attention to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) has led to positionality wherein investigators and authors disclose their identity and social position, allowing readers to interpret findings through the lens of authors’ biases. This article describes positionality via meanings of identity and impact of positionality on readers and authors themselves.
