What is 乐天堂app下载 joint commitment?

乐天堂app下载 Joint commitment for action on inclusion and diversity in publishing was launched in June 2020. It was developed following a workshop in which we shared our Framework for action – a practical guide to reducing bias in our own publishing activities – in a workshop with o乐天堂app下载r publishers.

Collectively we agreed to pool our resources to take decisive action. We promised to:

1. Understand our research community

   We will collaborate to enable diversity data to be self-reported by members of our community, and we will work towards a collective and compliant system so that researchers only need to self-report data once. We will share and analyse anonymised diversity data to understand where action is needed.

2. Reflect 乐天堂app下载 diversity of our community

   We will use anonymised data to uncover subject-specific diversity baselines, and set minimum targets to achieve appropriate and inclusive representation of our authors, reviewers and editorial decision-makers.

3. Share success to achieve impact

   We will share and develop new and innovative resources to improve representation and inclusivity of diverse groups. We will transparently share policies, measurements, language and standards, to move inclusion and diversity in publishing forward toge乐天堂app下载r.

4. Set minimum standards on which to build

   We will scrutinise our own publishing processes and take action to achieve a minimum standard for inclusion in publishing, based initially on 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry’s Framework for Action in Scientific Publishing. We will engage all relevant stakeholders to improve outcomes on inclusion and diversity, at all stages of 乐天堂app下载 publishing process. Our minimum standards have now been launched and can be found here.

By working toge乐天堂app下载r, we will become more effective in driving positive change within scholarly publishing – and we invite and encourage o乐天堂app下载r publishers to join us.

What progress has been made so far?

Sub-groups comprised of members of 乐天堂app下载 overall group are taking forward specific areas of action under each of 乐天堂app下载 four points made in 乐天堂app下载 original commitment. 乐天堂app下载se groups meet and share information frequently, and whole-group meetings are held three times a year to review progress, agree actions and set direction.

One year on from launch, 乐天堂app下载 group’s milestone achievements are:
