Measuring Success and Ensuring Progress: Accountability and Metrics in DEIA Programs

Measuring Success and Ensuring Progress: Accountability and Metrics in DEIA Programs
To ensure diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs are successful, organizations must have strategies and procedures to measure progress toward goals. In line with the conference theme of intersecting value with values, this session aims to spotlight real-world examples of measuring progress toward DEIA goals, including notable successes and opportunities for improvement. Topics include an approach to assessing and improving employee experiences around the globe, demographic data collection and use, and efforts to analyze the success and impact of a pathway-building editorial fellowship program and uptake of DEIA journal policies. Attendees will gain insight into building measurable DEIA programs in their teams or organizations to ensure accountability and promote meaningful progress against stated DEIA values. Sponsored by the SSP DEIA Committee.

47th Annual Meeting (2025)

45
Although every year in the scholarly publishing ecosystem is a balancing act of innovation, optimization, and value creation, 2025 is shaping up to be particularly challenging as the pace and scale of change is accelerating more than we’ve ever seen before. There is increasing pressure to provide value to and to meet the incredibly diverse needs of the global research community while maintaining financial health for our own organizations, living our values, and continuing to protect the scholarly record. With AI, open access, integrity, and mistrust frequently dominating the conversation, we are in the midst of an unprecedented shift in both our industry and society as a whole. As always, the SSP community continues to focus on bringing together academics, funders, librarians, publishers, service providers, technologists, researchers and countless others with a communal interest and stake in disseminating scholarly information. We look to the 47th Annual Meeting as an opportunity to continue this tradition and welcome all colleagues and community stakeholders.
