Some steps editors can take to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within their journals

Introduction

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is something that we care deeply about at Sage. We are aware that the publishing industry, including Sage, has much more work to do in order to better reflect the diversity of the world we seek to educate and inform. Our core Sage Journals DEI pledges are published here.

We are grateful for all our reviewers, as this work really helps authors enhance and develop their papers and supports the integrity of the publishing process.
