Enhancing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) In Open Educational Resources (OER) was peer-reviewed by librarians, academics, students and diversity and inclusion experts, all of whom have contributed their diverse perspectives and experiences to this guide.

The review was structured around considerations of the intended audience of the book and examined the comprehensiveness, accuracy, and relevance of content, as well as longevity and cultural relevance. See the review guide for more details. Changes suggested by the reviewers were incorporated by the lead editor.

I would like to thank the reviewers for the time, care, and commitment they contributed to the project. I recognise that peer reviewing is a generous act of service on their part. This guide would not be the robust, valuable resource that it is were it not for their feedback and input.
