SCI, the global innovation hub, has launched a Gold Open Access interdisciplinary journal which is committed to sharing groundbreaking research focused on sustainability challenges.
The journal: SCI Sustainability, is wide ranging in its scope and takes an interdisciplinary approach to tackling global challenges. It will concentrate on amplifying conversation and perspectives across a range of fields from science to industry, social sciences, law, economics, and ethics. The journal aims to ensure that new discoveries are accessible to all and invites a global dialogue on the critical challenges the world faces. SCI Sustainability is the first launch from a new series of journals under the SCI Innovate Open brand.
Launching SCI Sustainability at SCI’s Where Science Meets Business event, held during November, Nageen Matlub, SCI Publisher said: “By leveraging SCI’s established presence and extensive network, SCI Innovate Open will tap into a vast network of industrial, academic, governmental, and non-governmental connections worldwide to create a powerful platform for knowledge exchange and innovation.”
SCI Sustainability is led by co-editors in chief Professor Luuk van der Wielen, Bernal Chair of Biosystems Engineering & Design at the University of Limerick, Ireland, and Distinguished Professor of Biobased Economy at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands and Professor Nazia Habib, Founder and Research Director for the Resilience and Sustainable Development at Cambridge University.
With the aim of ensuring that the journal's coverage of innovations is grounded in real-world challenges, facilitating large-scale and lasting change, SCI Sustainability has convened an Industry Advisory Board (IAB) comprising of senior sustainability executives from diverse scientific sectors.
Dr Jon Hague, Head of Clean Future Science and Technology for Unilever’s Homecare Business, lead on SCI’s Sustainability Advisory Group and designated lead for the Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) of SCI Sustainability said: “We know we need to work together to identify sustainability solutions that don’t just have impact across the commercial sector but deliver societal and planetary value too. With so many interdependencies, and the need to work at pace, we know the solutions will have to come from partnerships across value chains. Assembling a unique Industrial Advisory Board for SCI Sustainability makes a clear statement that the journal will seek to publish the best research in sustainability, wherever it is taking place in the world, to contribute to this mission.”
