The toolkit covers essential topics such as:
- Inclusive Practices: Implementing best practices for creating an inclusive workplace.
- Disclosure: Considering the details of when and how to disclose a disability at work.
- Accommodations: How to request and handle accommodation requests
Including disability equity in the scholarly communications workplace is crucial – approximately 16% of the world’s working-age population has a disability. Many of these disabilities are hidden, meaning you may not even be aware that your colleagues have them. By fostering an inclusive environment, we can ensure that everyone has the opportunity to contribute their best work and feel valued within our community.
We believe that this toolkit will be a valuable asset in our collective efforts to promote equity and inclusion within our community. We encourage you to explore the toolkit and integrate its principles into your daily practices.

With huge thanks and gratitude to all of those who have worked hard over some time voluntarily to make this Toolkit a reality, these committee members are listed here.

About C4DISC C4DISC was founded by representatives from 10 trade and professional associations during the 2017 SSP annual meeting in Boston. Its vision is a socially just community that welcomes, values, and celebrates all who seek to contribute to scholarly communications, and its mission is to work with organizations and individuals to build equity, inclusion, diversity, and accessibility within the community. C4DISC members meet monthly to address its areas of focus, including developing a joint statement of principles; conducting market research; providing training resources, best practices, toolkits, and documentation for our collective memberships; and establishing outreach programs, curricula, events, and publications.
