We believe that scientific research should reflect the diversity of experiences, contexts and perspectives of different social, cultural, economic and geographical groups. The journal is committed to promoting

Diversity: Ensuring the participation of authors, reviewers and researchers from different backgrounds, gender identities, ethnicities, races and other social and cultural characteristics.
