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 UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ of Chemistry 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 UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ 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 UUÂãÁÄÖ±²¥ 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.
