Focus

Our focus is on eliminating barriers to participation, extending equitable opportunities across all stakeholders, and ensuring that publishers’ practices and policies promote equitable treatment and do not allow, condone, or result in discrimination. As an open access publisher, our mission is to make new research findings accessible to everyone. We are serving scholars from across the globe and from a variety of backgrounds. To deepen our understanding of the research communities that we serve, we aim to build journal that is just as diverse and inclusive. Only by valuing differences can we create an equitable and inclusive work environment and foster the openness that is key to our mission.
