Gaps | Opportunities | Potential Concerns |
---|---|---|
Gaps in representation due to lack of knowledge about proper procedures around privacy. | Anonymized self-reporting of disability status; culture shift toward inclusivity over past discriminatory practices. | Deeply ingrained, historical practices are hard to change. |
Challenges in identifying and recruiting PWLE of SCI to participate in review and editorial processes. | Open avenues of recruitment to include advocacy and community-based organizations. Provide compensation and resources to enable participation. | Privacy Engagement with the community may be viewed as tokenistic. Little precedent of level and type of reimbursement of reciprocity in the context of SCI. |
Lack of professional credentials required to participate in review and editorial processes, limiting recruitment to academic channels. | Include reviewers from beyond the academic community to comment on relevance and usability. | Participant fatigue Limited precedent |
