DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

The ATS encourages diversity, equity, and inclusion for its journal authors, editors, and reviewers. This is especially important for those groups that have been historically under-represented in these areas. Bringing in diverse perspectives across disciplines, training levels, and identities has the potential to broaden the applicability and reach of our mission and activities and is known to improve overall scientific rigor and quality.
