What are we doing to make journals publishing more inclusive?
Last year, the SAGE Journals team released a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) pledge using a framework from the Royal Society of Chemistry’s joint commitment for action on inclusion and diversity. The pledge aims to ensure that SAGE’s identity, values, and animating principles such as our guaranteed independence and our mission of building bridges to knowledge, are incorporated into our DEI work.
In this blog post, Martha Avtandilian, Publisher for SAGE's Social Science Journals division and lead of the Research Pillar's Application Stream, and Jessica Lipowski, Publishing Editor on the STM Journals Editorial team, reflect on our DEI pledge for SAGE Journals a year in and looks ahead to new goals to create more inclusive journals publishing at SAGE.
