Abstract

In 2020, we wrote to you about our dedication and vision for JAACAP "to be antiracist at every level."1 Over the last 4 years we have pursued initiatives "to reshape the Journal to pursue this vision."2-4 In this article, we provide an update on these goals and initiatives (Figure 1). These initiatives include both scientific journals in the JAACAP family, JAACAP and JAACAP Open. Through this work we aspire to be a leader among mental health journals in our intentional pursuit of antiracist policies and practices.
