Accessibility

Draft of 6 November 2026, to be confirmed by the site operator.

We want everyone to be able to read and take part in Sustainable Metallurgy, including people who use screen readers, keyboard navigation, zoom or other assistive technology. Our aim is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, level AA.

What we do

• Pages use headings, lists and labelled form fields, so they can be read and filled in with a screen reader.
• Menus and forms can be used with the keyboard: Tab moves between links and fields, Enter opens a menu.
• The spam check on our forms usually needs no action; Cloudflare designs it to meet WCAG 2.1 AA.

Known limits

• Open menus close with a click elsewhere, not yet with the Escape key.
• Some images from news sources may lack a full text description.
• Papers and documents we link to on other sites (journals, preprint servers) follow those sites' own accessibility.
• The site has not yet had a full accessibility check, including zooming to 200%. [Planned for: date.]
