The Journal of Electronic Publishing (JEP) has announced the publication of their new special issue on and , edited by Janneke Adema.

This important collection captures urgent and critical research that starts to outline the challenges the climate emergency poses to the publishing sector. The issue asks: What is the role and responsibility of the publishing industry in tackling change? The contributions to this issue all share a desire to further the dialogue about climate (in)justice in scholarly publishing, highlighting the paucity of research on this topic.
