A wide range of ethical issues can arise in academic publishing. These can be caused by those who participate in scholarly publishing (for example, as authors, reviewers, editors and publishers), and by some of the pressures and practices that prevail in the research system. This course will cover how to detect and deal effectively with poor practice and misconduct in scholarly publishing and will highlight the importance of having effective publication ethics policies in place.
In today’s global landscape, the scholarly publishing industry is increasingly recognizing the imperative of integrating values centered around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), and sustainability, including the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), into their organizational frameworks. It is essential that the publishing industry and publishing process better reflect the multiple dimensions of diversity within the research community and ensure representation of the very often marginalized or vulnerable communities who are most impacted by SDG-relevant research.
This session will explore the mechanisms and strategies employed by organizations to incorporate these values into their objectives and activities. Drawing upon the lens of DEI, organizations establish DEIA liaisons and foster communities of practice to ensure diverse perspectives are considered at all levels.
