An inclusive approach to authorship

Academic publishing is an important way for scientists to share their findings and track the ideas and contributions of others. Our approach to publication has, thus, been to recognize everyone that helped make the science possible, from technicians to editors. We believe in an inclusive publishing approach to ensure that all contributions are valued and acknowledged.
