DEI Statement

Convergent Points: An East West Case Report Journal is committed to making a positive contribution to accelerate diversity, inclusion and equity, including environmental equity.

Diversity not only includes race and ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and abilities, but also diversity of Eastern Asian healing practices and systems of medicine.

We are committed to cultural inclusion and diversity within our editorial, author, and reviewer networks, and recognize the need to continually re-evaluate our progress in those areas as well as in case report subjects.

Convergent Points is committed to providing a welcoming, respectful and supportive environment. Furthermore, we believe that diverse inclusion is essential for intellectually and culturally rich scholarship, and to accurately represent the variety within our professional community.

Convergent Points encourages authors to acknowledge traditional medicine sources when appropriate, and to include a diversity statement wherein they can share how they have thought about equity, diversity, and inclusion in the design and authorship of submitted case reports.
