从最早的时候起，人类遗传学领域就与种族主义意识形态有着复杂的、有时令人不安的联系。虽然现代人类遗传学和基因组学领域已经从这些早期错误中走了很长的路，但系统性的种族主义仍然根深蒂固地存在于其机构和做法中。虽然需要作出各种努力来消除系统性种族主义，但我们在这篇评论中重点关注遗传学和基因组学科学出版中必须做的工作。我们提出了八项既有科学依据又反种族主义的原则，我们希望这些原则将成为出版商和编辑委员会制定政策的基础，以满足遗传学和基因组学领域的独特需求。然而，出版商和期刊必须超越单纯的政策。编辑和评审人员需要接受关于这些政策和原则的培训，并将受益于可用于评估提交材料是否遵守这些准则的规则等资源。
From its earliest days, the field of human genetics has had a complex, and at times troubling, connection with racist ideologies. Although the modern field of human genetics and genomics has come a long way from those earlier errors, systemic racism remains ingrained in its institutions and practices. Although a variety of efforts are needed to excise systemic racism, we focus in this commentary on the work that must be done in scientific publishing in genetics and genomics. We propose eight principles that are both scientifically grounded and antiracist that we hope will serve as a foundation for the development of policies by publishers and editorial boards that address the unique needs of the field of genetics and genomics. Publishers and journals must go beyond mere policies, however. Editors and reviewers will need training on these policies and principles, and will benefit from resources like rubrics that can be used for evaluating the adherence of submissions to these guidelines.
