Course Description

The Short Course on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) is designed for journals and their editorial staff to address the importance of keeping DEIA in the forefront of all processes and activities. Presentations will be given on topics including fair and representative review processes and policies, race and ethnicity reporting guidelines, accessibility and disability awareness, inclusive language, DEIA considerations with the advent of artificial intelligence, and putting DEIA policies into place for journals, publishers, and societies. Faculty will bring real-life experience and share what has worked for them. Participants will have the opportunity to put forward their questions and problems for consideration by the faculty and other participants. There will also be a guided open discussion where attendees will be able to share and discuss ways they plan to implement changes based on what they learn from the program. Active participation and exchange of ideas are encouraged.
