Abstract

In today's political climate, we are well aware, if we weren't before, that inequities exist at all levels of society. This is true also in scholarly communications, which despite its many changes in the last few decades, still adheres to traditional values and structures. This talk offers a broad overview of how inequities exist within the traditional values and structures of academic publishing and scholarly communication, as well as some efforts to address these issues.
