Building the world to be inclusive by design, whether they be physical spaces or digital, benefits everyone.

As a research publisher, we have a duty to never take the fundamental right to access news and knowledge for granted. In this guest post, James Alegria, Digital Brand Designer at SN, explains how the features of the new Springer journal pages were built with this in mind.
