Diversity and Inclusion

Johnson Matthey recognises the role that scientific publishing can play in improving diversity and inclusion. The Johnson Matthey Technology Review positively encourages contributions from traditionally underrepresented groups in research and scholarly publishing.

This journal follows fair and ethical procedures for assessing the quality of contributions. We do not discriminate on the basis of personal characteristics including sex, gender, race or ethnicity, first language, sexual orientation, religion, beliefs, disability status or age. We take active steps to prevent biases from appearing in our commissioning, selection, peer review or decision making procedures.
