Taylor & Francis Group’s Post

Each year in July, the United Nations High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF) meets to follow up on and review the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year, we’ve compiled a list of some of our recent open access sustainability articles, to show instances of how research is helping achieve each one of the UN's SDGs. From “no poverty” and “zero hunger” to “life below water” and “life on land”, take a read to find research that highlights many of the problems facing society, and offers solutions with case studies and discussions of policy impact: https://lnkd.in/edpy6v6g Browse Sustainable Development Goals Online (SDGO), a carefully curated interdisciplinary collection of digital content mapped to the United Nations’ SDGs: https://lnkd.in/eUw8Gv86 #SDGs #OpenAccess #ResearchImpact

Taylor & Francis' roots go back to 1798, when Richard Taylor launched the Philosophical Magazine, one of the first scientific journals. Today we have 375 peer-reviewed journals across medicine, health, and pharmaceutical science, covering specialist areas of practice from surgery to substance misuse. We sat down with four people who work at Taylor & Francis – including Head of Publication Development Jonathan Patience, Senior Editor Kelly Ann Soldavin, Journal of Current Medical Economics Executive Editor Mike Gregg, and Current Medical Research & Opinion Executive Editor Mithi Ahmed-Richards – to ask them what they do in their day-to-day work as publishers to support the medical communications community.

We are pleased to bring you this episode of Wayfinders, featuring Nathaniel Gore (on right), PeerJ, Stacey Burke, American Physiological Society (APS), and Kellie O'Rourke, Cambridge University Press, hosted by Malavika Legge. The Wayfinders series is brought to you by OASPA; it brings to life practical case-studies helping all organizations find ways to increase equity in open access (OA). Nathaniel Gore: “We are focusing on how we as a publisher are trying to remove the per publication charge, we see that as potentially the most significant barrier to equitable participation and open science communication.” Listen to hear how PeerJ designed and implement that model: https://lnkd.in/egGJEpbR PeerJ is an award-winning Open Access publisher dedicated to advancing scholarly communication and research dissemination.

This Pride Month, we’re celebrating the enduring legacy of Judith Butler’s ‘Gender Trouble.’ There’s a reason this title is in our Routledge Classics series – it’s a landmark, ground-breaking text in Queer Theory that’s just as relevant today as it was when it came out in 1990. A radical examination of the “irreducible complexity of sexuality” and gender identity, it’s a text that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Pride.

Pride is a celebration of authenticity, acceptance, and love in the face of societal adversity. It symbolizes the LGBTQIA+ community's ongoing journey toward equality and visibility, and is an assertion of resilience and the refusal to be silenced.
