Sustainable Development Goals in academic publishing: impacts of SDG Publishers Compact and EASE Environmental Manifesto
Print
A survey by the European Association of Science Editors (EASE) and the Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) aimed to assess the progress of the SDG Publishers Compact and other initiatives promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The survey found that most editors of small academic journals were unaware of the Compact, but most were working towards at least one SDG. The survey suggests greater efforts to make editors aware of the Compact and provide resources for monitoring their activities.
