Peer review represents the foundation and gatekeeper to scientific dissemination, making it among the most important points to improve the representation of members of diverse gender, racial/ethnic, and other sociodemographic groups. The American Psychological Association (APA) highlights equity, diversity, and inclusion among its guiding principles. APA journals publish a large volume of cutting-edge psychological research (processing 20,000 + submissions per year) and reach a wide audience and have the unique opportunity to contribute to APA's mission by disseminating data on the diversity of those involved in the production of psychological science. In this commentary, we highlight recommendations for actionable steps to promote greater equity in the peer review process. While our recommendations are not exhaustive, we hope that they are steps in the right direction and will contribute to conversations that have already begun regarding actions to address underrepresentation in the scientific process.

同行评审是科学传播的基础和把关人，因此是提高不同性别、种族/民族和其他社会人口统计学群体成员代表性的最重要方面之一。美国心理学会 (APA) 将公平、多样性和包容性作为其指导原则之一。APA 期刊发表了大量前沿的心理学研究（每年处理 20,000 多份投稿），并拥有广泛的受众，并有机会通过传播参与心理科学研究的人员多样性的数据，为 APA 的使命做出贡献。在这篇评论中，我们强调了促进同行评审过程中更加公平的可行步骤的建议。虽然我们的建议并不详尽，但我们希望这些建议是朝着正确方向迈出的一步，并将有助于已经开始的关于解决科学过程中代表性不足问题的行动的对话。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
