Across disciplines, most publications in top journals are authored by scholars in Western high-income countries. Increasing geographic diversity seems particularly important for sustainability research, not least because regions around the world have different perspectives on sustainable development and tensions related to business sustainability often include a spatial element. While many journals have started paying attention to the question of how to increase diversity of authors and research contexts, guiding the publication process for researchers from and on underrepresented regions also holds challenges. With an esteemed group of editors from business sustainability and management journals, we will discuss these challenges and what journals, editors, reviewers, and authors can do to foster publications from and on underrepresented regions of the world.
