Accessibility statement

Last reviewed July 17, 2026

Standards Body wants its research to be readable by everyone, and treats accessibility as part of publication quality. This page states the site's current posture honestly, including its known limitations.

What the site does

  • Semantic HTML with landmarks, a single H1 per page, and an orderly heading hierarchy.
  • A skip-to-content link and visible keyboard focus styling on every page.
  • Keyboard-operable navigation, including the mobile menu, which also closes with the Escape key.
  • Reduced-motion preferences respected.
  • Text that can be resized in the browser without loss of function, and layouts that work on small screens.
  • Publication downloads include a tagged, selectable-text PDF with a defined document language.

Known limitations

  • Some small metadata labels use a low-emphasis gray (#71717a) whose measured contrast on the site background is 4.12 to 1, below the WCAG 2.1 AA threshold of 4.5 to 1 for small text. The information in these labels is also available in adjacent higher-contrast text. This color is part of the project's locked design tokens, and its use is under review.
  • The site has not yet undergone an external accessibility audit or assistive-technology user testing.
