Taylor & Francis has announced the launch of a new series of selective, forward-thinking open access journals which will present diverse perspectives on the complex issues facing our world. Each Critical Insights title is led by recognized experts in the field and will guide authors through the publishing process with high quality editorial support.
Broad in scope, Critical Insights journals will champion new thinking and novel approaches, with ‘Critical Insights summaries' alongside each article outlining how it contributes to the direction of the field. Figures and images will also be available in a format that can be easily reused and shared.
Dedicated publishing staff and optimized systems developed for the series will ensure authors receive fast desk decisions, constructive and detailed peer review, high production values, and support to write their Critical Insights summaries.
The first four Critical Insights journals will cover Aquaculture; Climate Change; Environmental Science and Technology; and Geophysics and Geochemistry. Further titles in the series are scheduled for launch early in 2025.
Graeme Swindles, Editor-in-Chief of Critical Insights in Climate Change, said: "There are ever more articles about climate change being published but their quality can vary widely. Critical Insights in Climate Change will be the home for only the most innovative and impactful research and will be essential reading for researchers, policymakers and everyone who wants to engage with the latest thinking on this critical issue."
Albert Tacon, Editor-in-Chief of Critical Insights in Aquaculture, said: "With an editorial board that includes experts from commercial, NGO, and government organizations, alongside academic researchers, our aim is to tackle the full range of critical issues facing aquaculture today. We will bring together the best research available to help improve the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of the aquaculture sector for current and future generations."
