Research Wave and the Journal of Cognition and AI (JCAI) deeply value inclusive scholarship and global participation. We believe that a diversity of voices, backgrounds, and perspectives is essential to advancing innovative and impactful scientific research.
Our Commitments
To foster an inclusive academic environment, we are actively committed to the following principles:
- Fair Representation: Ensure the fair representation of authors, peer reviewers, and editorial board members across gender, geography, and career stages.
- Global Outreach: Actively encourage and support submissions from underrepresented regions and developing countries to amplify localized research on a global stage.
- Objective Evaluation: Adopt bias-free language across all publications and ensure that the double-blind peer-review process remains entirely objective, equitable, and focused solely on academic merit.
- Accessibility: Provide reasonable accommodations and support for authors, reviewers, or readers with specific accessibility needs to ensure seamless participation in the publishing process.
Reviewer and Editorial Board Diversity
The strength of our peer-review system relies on the breadth of knowledge and perspective provided by our experts. To maintain this standard:
- The editorial board of JCAI and all future Research Wave journals will be regularly evaluated to ensure a healthy diversity of expertise, regional representation, and demographics.
- Research Wave actively seeks out and recruits peer reviewers from a wide, intersectional range of professional and cultural backgrounds.
