2020 was a turning point in science communication with the global pandemic revealing the limitations of our current models and raising questions about how we, as editors can – and should – influence scientific communication.
Sustainability, in terms of managing the Earth's resources, is often considered to be unrelated to editorial and research activities; but careful husbandry of available resources is at the heart of a sustainable scientific ecosystem. As editors we need to investigate how we can promote more sustainable research and equable systems of communication, and we need to carefully consider our influence on research that respects the Earth's resources. Implicit is the need to ensure diversity, and to avoid niche publishing that excludes participation and partnership around the world, and which overstretches available resources.
These vital topics will be considered by key speakers at the conference, and delegates will participate in debates via the EASE Forum Live! sessions.
The programme will include presentations, case studies and discussions on the following topics:
Keynote: Sustainability in research: editorial challenges and opportunities
Debate: Preprints are a more inclusive and sustainable method of scholarly communication than journals
Presentations: promoting gender, cultural and geographic diversity in scientific journals
Panel discussion: How local journals are using technology to ensure sustainability
Presentations: Editing and publishing in times of crisis – 18 months into the COVID-19 pandemic, what have we learned and which changes will stay?
Presentation: What environmental responsibilities do editors and publishers have?
Meeting the challenges of publishing in a world of politicised science
Each session will include consideration of one or more of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to question how the work, experiences and behaviors of editors, publishers and researchers can influence and help to achieve the SDGs.
