New resource: EDIB Getting Started Guide

Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (EDIB) are essential for a fair and representative scholarly publishing ecosystem. But where should journals and institutional publishers start?

To support editors and publishers in creating a meaningful and impactful EDIB strategy, we have developed a comprehensive EDIB Getting Started Guide that ensures fair treatment and full participation for everyone, including those historically underrepresented in research and publishing.

What the guide offers

An introduction to why EDIB matters in open scholarly publishing
Practical building blocks for developing an EDIB strategy
Tips to help journals remove barriers, improve representation, and create more inclusive publishing environments

Alongside the guide, we have created a brief test to help you assess your EDIB skills through practical examples found in scholarly publishing :game_die: :eyes:
