Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are integral to publication ethics. Many journals are now seeking to make improvements in this area and to play a role in overcoming systemic barriers that face scholars from historically marginalised groups. This session is intended to give participants an opportunity to learn about tangible actions to improve diversity and inclusion, and to explore how these actions might be implemented. Focusing on three key themes selected by the COPE membership, guest speakers will discuss how these challenges are being met across the industry:
- creating representative editorial boards
- diversity data collection
- managing allegations of discriminatory behaviour
Participants will have an opportunity to put questions to the speakers, and be guided to relevant resources and materials to further their own journal's DEI journey.
The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A.
