Language and images used in diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) have become increasingly important in scholarly publishing. Recently, several major style guides have been developed, including the Coalition for Diversity in Scholarly Communications (C4DISC) Toolkit: Guidelines on Inclusive Language and Images in Scholarly Communication; the American Medical Association's AMA Manual of Style Guidance on Inclusive Language for Reporting Race and Ethnicity; the American Chemical Society (ACS) Inclusivity Style Guide; and the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. This session brings together representatives of these organizations to discuss the principles for creating inclusive communication guidelines, methods for development of the style guides, major recommendations, and plans for updating as language and societal norms change. The aims are to point scholarly publishers to these and other resources to embrace and advance equity and inclusion in scholarly publications and to set industry standards for inclusive writing habits in research and publishing.
