We, AG Queer STS, an independent volunteer working collective, are publishing the open-access, online journal Queer-Feminist STS Forum since 2016. As a collective, we are constantly learning with and from our contributors, reviewers, and readers and wider communities and remain committed to improving the Forum as a space for queer-feminist perspectives from academia, arts, activism and diverse knowledges. After nearly a decade of publishing, we recognize that editorial work must remain reflective and responsive. For this reason, we refer our contributors, reviewers and editorial teams to ethical guidelines. These guidelines invite all participants in the publication process to carefully consider ethical dimensions of their work, especially when it comes to vulnerable participants in research and the potential risk of re-traumatisation.
