On June 6, 2020, we asserted a number of principles following the initial publication, and rapid retraction, of “‘Organic synthesis—Where now?’ is 30 years old. A reflection on the current state of affairs” in Angewandte Chemie, International Edition. The following statement thus appears on the shared JOC and OL Twitter account (@JOC_OL) and at that maintained by Organometallics (@Orgmet_ACS), and we wish to publish this statement now in our journals for perpetuity: “The Editors-in-Chief of The Journal of Organic Chemistry, Organic Letters, and Organometallics affirm their commitment to the intrinsic scientific excellence that is borne of contributions from the most diverse pool of scientists. Inspired by the capacity of all to contribute, we strive for openness and inclusion in all we do, hoping to learn from all in an effort to better serve our field, the entire scientific enterprise, and our global society. Moreover, we reject backwardness and any effort to repress the contributions of individuals historically underrepresented in our field.” We, along with all of the Editors-in-Chief for each of the ACS Publications journals, have since published an editorial, entitled “Confronting Racism in Chemistry Journals”. In addition, Professor Melanie S. Sanford has written a powerful editorial with concrete actions for accelerated remediation of the cultural problems in science (DOI: 10.1021/acscentsci.0c00784). Furthermore, ACS has issued a statement regarding recent tragic events in support of diversity and inclusion. And the ACS Axial post by Dr. Pamela Tadross is also an outstanding resource, featuring excellent and actionable ideas. Sarpong et al. have now written an excellent and compelling editorial published alongside this editorial, the principles of which we wholeheartedly endorse (DOI: 10.1021/acs.joc.0c01607). Along with these calls to action, we, as the Editors of The Journal of Organic Chemistry, Organic Letters, and Organometallics, are publicizing and rededicating several core policies, while implementing several new steps to maximize the diversity of our discipline and the unique contributions and capacities of our expansive disciplines and communities. First, state-of-the-art training and continuing education will become an integral part of our board meetings involving all of our editors. These will include sessions moderated by leading experts on racism, bias, and implicit bias so that all of our editors and editorial staff members may learn and benefit from the excellence, knowledge, and best practices emerging from the work of these professionals. Second, we will continue to work with ACS Publications to understand better the diversity presently represented in our author and reviewer communities in a data driven fashion. These efforts will include an effort to understand our own behaviors in reviewer selection, engagement in the appeals process with contended manuscript decisions, and selection of articles for featured content. We are committed to transparency in these activities, and we pledge to share any lessons learned with the broader community, along with action items we can implement based on our findings. Third, we will recommit to constructive and educational interaction with authors, editors, and reviewers. As a first step, we will add to our reviewer invitation a link to the recommended ACS online training course “Reviewer Lab” (https://acsreviewerlab.org), which includes numerous components that enhance the fairness of the peer review process, including a module on ethics and biases to be aware of in the review process. Fourth, we are encouraging authors to engage with our Author Guidelines, which offer useful information with respect to enhancing fairness, diversity, and excellence in the review process, including, for example, the following guideline: “Please suggest five reviewers. ACS requests that you consider the gender and geographic diversity of your suggested reviewers in addition to their topical expertise. Authors are encouraged to avoid suggesting reviewers from the authors’ institutions. Do not suggest reviewers who may have a real or perceived conflict of interest.” Fifth, we remain committed to maintaining a high level of diversity on our Associate Editor teams and on our Editorial Advisory Boards. Sixth, we aim to provide an opportunity for everyone to get to know our authors. It seems that although social media allows us to stay connected, it is limited in its ability to foster connections at a more personal level. Accordingly, building on the innovations of Organometallics (https://pubs.acs.org/page/orgnd7/pioneers-influencers), authors of papers in JOC and OL will be invited to submit a profile, along with the option to include a photograph that highlights the team that made the science happen; an accompanying caption with the photograph can identify the individuals of the team and short details (e.g., undergraduate, graduate student, postdoc). This underscores the team effort that always accompanies advances in science and will serve to shine a light on the diversity of the research enterprise. In parallel, with this activity, the journals will periodically feature authors with short biographies that highlight their career paths and may underscore decisive moments on the multitude of roads taken (and roads not taken) that we all experience over the course of our careers. We anticipate these venues will provide rich opportunities to celebrate the diversity of our community of chemists that collectively continues to propel the field forward in exciting new directions. Finally, and not at all as an afterthought, we welcome your input and suggestions. Our role as Editors-in-Chief is a service role first and foremost. We look forward to working with the entire community of organic and organometallic chemists to create scientific opportunity, through advancing and promoting our shared fields, with the benefit of the wisdom of all. Contact us at JOC ([email protected]), Org. Lett., ([email protected]), or Organometallics ([email protected]). Views expressed in this editorial are those of the authors and not necessarily the views of the ACS. This Editorial is jointly published in Organic Letters, The Journal of Organic Chemistry, and Organometallics. This article has not yet been cited by other publications.

J. Org的动作。化学 ，组织。来吧 和有机金属化合物与歧视和偏见作斗争

在2020年6月6日首次发表并迅速撤消“有机合成-现在在哪里？”之后，我们主张了许多原则。今年30岁。对事务的当前状态”的思考在应用化学国际版。因此，以下声明出现在共享的JOC和OL Twitter帐户（@JOC_OL）上，并出现在Organometallics（@Orgmet_ACS）维护的帐户上，并且我们希望永久保留在我们的期刊中发布此声明：有机化学，有机快报和有机金属学报申明他们对内在科学卓越的承诺，这要归功于最多样化的科学家群体的贡献。受所有人贡献的能力的启发，我们努力做到开放和包容我们所做的一切，希望向所有人学习，以更好地为我们的领域，整个科学事业和全球社会服务。而且，我们拒绝落后和任何压制我们领域中历来代表性不足的个人的努力。” 此后，我们与ACS期刊的所有主编一起发表了一篇社论，标题为“在化学期刊中面对种族主义”。此外，梅拉妮·桑福德（Melanie S. Sanford）教授撰写了一篇有力的社论，其中提出了具体行动，以加快对科学文化问题的补救（DOI：10.1021 / acscentsci。0c00784）。此外，ACS发表了有关最近悲惨事件的声明，以支持多样性和包容性。和Pamela Tadross博士的ACS Axial帖子也是一个出色的资源，具有出色且可行的想法。Sarpong等。现在，我们已经撰写了一篇出色且引人注目的社论，并与我们共同认可其原则（DOI：10.1021 / acs.joc.0c01607）。伴随着这些号召性行动，我们作为《有机化学杂志》，《有机快报》和《有机金属》的编辑，正在宣传和重新制定一些核心政策，同时实施了一些新步骤，以最大限度地提高我们学科的多样性以及我们广泛学科和社区的独特贡献和能力。首先，最先进的培训和继续教育将成为我们全体董事参加的董事会会议的组成部分。这些将包括由种族主义，偏见和内在偏见的领先专家主持的会议，以便我们所有的编辑和编辑人员都可以从这些专业人员的工作中汲取的卓越，知识和最佳实践中学习和受益。其次，我们将继续与ACS出版物合作，以数据驱动的方式更好地了解我们作者和审阅者社区目前所代表的多样性。这些工作将包括努力了解我们在审稿人选择上的行为，参与有争议的手稿决定的上诉程序以及为特色内容选择文章。我们致力于在这些活动中保持透明，我们保证与广大社区分享任何经验教训，并根据我们的发现可以实施的行动项目。第三，我们将致力于与作者，编辑和审稿人进行建设性的教育互动。第一步，我们将向审阅者邀请添加指向推荐的ACS在线培训课程“审阅者实验室”（https://acsreviewerlab.org）的链接，该课程包括许多可增强同行评审过程公平性的组件，包括在审查过程中要注意的道德和偏见模块。第四，我们鼓励作者参与我们的作者指南，该指南提供了有关在评审过程中提高公平性，多样性和卓越性的有用信息，例如，包括以下指南：“请建议五位审稿人。ACS要求您除了主题专业知识外，还考虑建议的审稿人的性别和地域多样性。鼓励作者避免建议来自作者机构的审稿人。不要建议可能存在真实或感知利益冲突的审稿人。” 第五，我们仍然致力于在我们的副编辑团队和我们的编辑咨询委员会中保持高度的多样性。第六，我们旨在为每个人提供认识我们作者的机会。似乎，尽管社交媒体允许我们保持联系，它在个人层面上促进联系的能力有限。因此，在以下方面的创新基础上有机金属化合物（https://pubs.acs.org/page/orgnd7/pioneers-influencers），在文章的作者JOC和OL将被邀请提交个人资料，并可以选择附有照片，以突出说明推动科学发展的团队；附带照片的标题可以识别团队的成员和简短的详细信息（例如，本科生，研究生，博士后）。这强调了科学进步始终伴随的团队努力，将有助于阐明研究企业的多样性。同时，通过这项活动，这些期刊将定期为作者撰写简短的传记，以突出他们的职业道路，并可能强调我们在职业生涯中所经历的许多道路（以及未采取的道路）上的决定性时刻。我们希望这些场馆将为庆祝我们化学家社区的多样性提供丰富的机会，以共同推动该领域朝着令人兴奋的新方向前进。最后，我们完全不欢迎您提出任何意见和建议。我们作为总编辑的角色首先是服务角色。我们期待与整个有机和有机金属化学家社区合作，通过推进和促进我们共享的领域，并在所有人的智慧中受益，创造科学机会。与我们联系 我们期待与整个有机和有机金属化学家社区合作，通过推进和促进我们共享的领域，并在所有人的智慧中受益，创造科学机会。与我们联系 我们期待与整个有机和有机金属化学家社区合作，通过推进和促进我们共享的领域，并在所有人的智慧中受益，创造科学机会。与我们联系JOC（[电子邮件保护]），组织 来吧 ，（[受电子邮件保护]）或有机金属（[受电子邮件保护]）。本社论中表达的观点只是作者的观点，不一定是ACS的观点。本社论发表在《有机快报》，《有机化学杂志》和《有机金属》上。本文尚未被其他出版物引用。
