Abstract: There have been numerous calls within school psychology and related fields to evaluate the demographic representation of their institutions and initiatives. Currently, little is known about the demographic composition of the editorial boards supporting school psychology journals. Three studies were completed during 2023 and 2024 to address demographic representation across seven school psychology journals. Study 1 analyzed the names of 636 editorial board members to estimate the representation of scholars of color, women, and gender-diverse scholars. Study 2 surveyed board members to estimate representation of scholars of color, women, gender-diverse scholars, sexual minority scholars, scholars with disabilities, and multilingual scholars. Study 3 surveyed journal editors about the composition of their editorial boards. Across studies and journals, results revealed that women composed 56%-61%, scholars of color composed 24%-29%, scholars with disabilities composed 23%, multilingual scholars composed 16%, sexual minority scholars composed 11%, and gender-diverse scholars composed 0.2%-0.4% of editorial board members. One third of board members had two or more intersecting marginalized identities, including 14%-17% who were women of color. Variation in marginalized scholars' representation underscores the need to continue to prioritize and support marginalized board members through advocacy and integration of feedback from its members.
