Recommendations are provided on embedding the core principles of nursing and social justice into the development, implementation, dissemination, and publication of nursing scholarship.
Results:
Recommendations include committing to antiracism and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion by ongoing assessment of bias, honing an equity lens, and using inclusive language.
