25 years of interactive open access publishing: An interview with current and former EGU Publications Committee chairs Barbara Ervens and Ulrich Pöschl

It is not every day you get to celebrate a silver jubilee in the world of digital publishing, but this year, the European Geosciences Union is doing exactly that. Twenty-five years ago, back when most of us were still navigating dial-up internet, EGU was already flipping the script on the black box of scientific publishing. By launching the first interactive open-access journal, they moved the sci ...[Read More]

IGS: A Home for the Global Cryosphere

Like many glaciologists (in the broad sense – as in, cryospheric researchers, not just those who study glaciers!), my professional “home” has been the International Glaciological Society (IGS) ever since grad school; My first conference was an IGS branch meeting, I found my postdoc by networking at an IGS symposium, I have published work in IGS journals, and IGS has supported many community activi ...[Read More]

TS Must-read – wrap up and tectonics history

TS Must-read series, the wrap up  In 2020, we started the Must Read activity by asking the TS community a simple question: which papers do you think every tectonics and structural geology student should read? that led to more than a thousand nominations and lively debate. A short list of 48 Must Read papers was distilled by adding 3 complementary contributions to the 45 entries that had the larges ...[Read More]

Three reasons why you should consider preprinting your research

Preprints are scientific manuscripts posted online before or in parallel with submission to a peer-reviewed journal. Although the term ‘preprint’ may sound like it is just a preliminary version of a document that will eventually be published in an academic journal, this is not always the case. Not all preprints are intended for formal peer review, and some remain at the preprint stage indefinitely ...[Read More]

Rethinking the carbon cost of scientific exchange: Nonlinear effects of reducing scientific mobility

The carbon footprint of scientific collaboration has become an increasingly debated topic. Conferences, workshops, and research travel remain central to how science function, yet they also contribute to global greenhouse gas emissions. Since the pandemic era scientists also learned to work virtually and to attend workshops and conferences online. Understanding the carbon footprint, and how it comp ...[Read More]
