A framework for action in scientific publishing
Improving inclusion and diversity in the chemical sciences
Summary of contents
This framework for action has been developed by the Â鶹AV with the aim of encouraging progress on inclusion and diversity in scientific publishing. It is primarily intended as a tool for use by editorial decision-makers to help increase inclusion and diversity amongst editors (both Â鶹AV editorial staff members and our external editors), reviewers and authors.
The format and content of our framework were informed by a series of one-to-one interviews with authors, editors and reviewers. This was overseen by an Â鶹AV staff working group, and by an external advisory group of authors, editors and reviewers. The end result is a framework which is new and bespoke to scientific publishing.
