Welcome to CSE’s webpage on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) scholarly resources. Emerging DEIA best practices are becoming increasingly important to promote equitable actions that advance diversity in various disciplines, including racial and ethnic diversity, institutional diversity, gender diversity, sex and gender diversity, disability (and accessibility) diversity, geographic diversity, and linguistic and cultural diversity. CSE is committed to providing its members with resources that can assist journals at various stages of implementing DEIA-centered activities.
CSE is pleased to provide DEIA resources in the seven categories linked here in one location as an aid for editors and scholarly publishing professionals. However, the content listed on this page is by no means a comprehensive list of resources on this important issue, nor does inclusion on this page imply endorsement by the Council of Science Editors. The categories are broad, and information may overlap more than one category. We invite visitors to explore content in any of these categories and to consider submitting resources for inclusion.
Has your journal or organization issued a statement about policies and practices related to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility? Have you updated your guide to authors, examined your peer review processes for potential bias, or launched efforts to collect demographic data to help you advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility goals and objectives? You may submit a request here to include resources for consideration in any of the seven categories.
