In early January, Cell Press announced that they were introducing a new Inclusion and Diversity Statement, similar to existing statements about Declarations of Interest, Author Contributions, and Data and Code Availability, but focusing on aspects of an article that are relevant for inclusion and diversity. One month on, their Vice President of Editorial, Deborah Sweet, kindly agreed to answer my questions about what the Statement is, why and how it’s being implemented, what they hope to achieve, and how it’s been received in the Cell Press community and beyond.
