Abstract

In the last decade, the terms “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility” (DEIA) became quite popular for being the core values in promoting a more fair, equitable and inclusive society to everyone. These guidelines have been frequently addressed by several areas of knowledge in Brazil and in the world, similarly to what occurs in scientific communications. Science should pursue truth and knowledge accessible to everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, religion, nationality or impairment. The Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (RBC), along its 75 years of life have incorporated the ethical commitment of promoting the adoption of DEIA criteria through the whole editorial flow with the objective of tackling with the inequalities, inequities and disparities in health and ensure the utmost possible scientific plurality. The actions described herein as well as other RBC’s ethical commitment have favored the construction of a plural and democratic space.
