Accessibility
A website designed to be readable, navigable and usable with a keyboard. Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility, not a one-time badge.
Standard
We build to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, which also covers WCAG 2.1 AA.
What was tested
On November 10, 2026, every page was checked with the axe-core automated checker (no violations found), at 320, 390, 768, 1,024 and 1,440 pixels wide without horizontal scrolling, and with the keyboard alone for the menus, search dialog, FAQs and contact form. Screen-reader testing with NVDA and VoiceOver is planned before public launch.
Design approach
Clear headings, descriptive links, text alternatives for images, visible focus indicators, colour contrast of at least 4.5:1 for text, and controls of at least 44 pixels for main actions. Menus open on click, Enter or Space, never on hover alone.
Keyboard and motion
Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move between controls. Press / to open search; Escape closes the search dialog and open menus. A skip link moves to the main content. If your system asks for reduced motion, the site turns off transitions.
Without JavaScript
Pages, menus, FAQs and the full publication list remain usable. Search then shows a list of every page; filters show all items.
Known limitations
Automated tests do not establish complete conformance. The logo is still a raster image until the vector set is delivered, and third-party pages such as DOI and PubMed records are outside our control.

A clear question is a good place to start.
