Joint Statement of Principles of the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Publishing (C4DISC)


The CAAA and CAAA journals adopt the Joint Statement of Principles of the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Publishing (C4DISC)

The CAAA is pleased to announce our adoption of the Joint Statement of Principles of the Coalition for Diversity and Inclusion in Scholarly Publishing (C4DISC).

As an Association, we acknowledge our responsibility to examine our organizational and individual biases so we can develop and change; to actively promote inclusivity and accessibility; and to establish policy on equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging that underscores all the structures and services of the CAAA. We commit to devoting time and resources to these efforts.

While we work towards this overall objective of institutional change, we can also take smaller practical steps – formal and informal – to promote and examine equity and inclusion at the CAAA. Adopting the Joint Statement is one such step on our journey; by doing so, we join a wider academic community that shares practices and resources and works together towards improvement and change.
