The Lancet Group’s commitments to gender equity and diversity
The Lancet Group values diversity in all its dimensions. We are passionately committed to improving health equity. We recognise that many groups are under-represented in research including women, people of colour, and socially disadvantaged populations. The Lancet Group is committed to increasing diversity and inclusion in research and publishing, and in particular to increasing the representation of women and colleagues from low-income and middle-income countries among our editorial advisers, peer reviewers, and authors.
The Lancet Group No All-Male Panel Policy
The Lancet Group is committed to no all-male panels (“manels”). Our editors will not serve as panellists at a public conference or event when there are no women on the panel. For events that we organise or plan, we aim for at least 50% female speakers. Our preference is for women to be included as panellists, not only as chairs or moderators.
