Accessibility Statement
Last updated: 24 October 2026
Our commitment
The Bridge Review aims to make its website and scholarly content usable by people with disabilities, including people who use assistive technology. Access is part of our mission to broaden participation in scholarship. We aim toward the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2, Level AA, as a development and improvement target. This is not a claim that every page or file currently conforms.
Accessibility approach
Our priorities include clear headings and navigation, keyboard access, visible focus, readable contrast, text alternatives for meaningful images, labeled forms, understandable error messages, mobile reflow, and content that remains usable when enlarged. We aim to provide accessible article formats, descriptive figure captions, and captions or transcripts for journal-produced media. Accessibility requests are considered individually, including where an alternative format would better meet a person's needs.
Current status and limitations
The website is in development. A complete accessibility conformance assessment has not yet been completed. [REPLACE THIS WITH THE VERIFIED AUDIT STATUS AND DATE BEFORE PUBLICATION IF AN ASSESSMENT HAS OCCURRED.] Third party tools, older files, complex charts, mathematical content, and supplied documents may present barriers. We will describe confirmed significant limitations and available alternatives here as they are identified: [INSERT KNOWN BARRIERS, AFFECTED CONTENT, WORKAROUNDS, AND PLANNED REMEDIATION IF ANY].
Request help or report a barrier
Contact editor@bridgereview.org with the subject “Accessibility Request.” Include the page link or document title, the barrier, and the format or assistance that would help. You may describe your browser or assistive technology if useful; you do not need to provide a diagnosis or medical documentation. We aim to acknowledge requests within five business days and discuss a practical response and timeframe. Where feasible, we will provide an alternative way to access content or complete a submission while a barrier is addressed.
Review and improvement
We plan to combine automated checks with keyboard and assistive technology testing, address reported barriers, and review major site changes for accessibility. We welcome feedback from disabled readers, authors, reviewers, and other users. If your request remains unresolved, follow the Complaints and Appeals Policy.
