The winners of this prestigious award, presented by the WIPO-led Accessible Books Consortium (ABC), were announced today by WIPO Deputy Director General Sylvie Forbin during a ceremony at the Frankfurter Buchmesse.
In the publisher category, Taylor & Francis Group’s innovative approach to alternative text for images, graphs, and diagrams impressed the jury. Authors create and submit alternative text with their manuscripts, which ensures that key information is accessible to persons who are print-disabled.
Taylor & Francis is proud to be a champion for accessibility within the publishing industry and we are honoured that the work we’ve done improving our products has been recognized. Accessibility offers a toolkit to break down barriers and open up knowledge and resources to readers and learners across the globe. We will continue to develop our accessibility program to better support customers with a fair and equitable approach to our academic content and would like to thank the colleagues, authors, contributors, and partnerships who are working alongside us.
