FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  MEDIA CONTACTS
Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research Kim Portness kportmess.step@dir.iai.int Journal of Science Policy & Governance André Porter communications@sciencepolicyjournal.org WASHINGTON, DC (September 19, 2022) - The Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) and the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) are pleased to announce a call for papers and competition to provide nations of the Americas with tools and institutional capacities to better face Global Environmental Change (GEC) challenges. This call for papers is focused on international collaboration and the exchange of scientific information and knowledge relevant to Development Policy and Global Change Science to Achieve the Vision of Sustainable Americas. Students, post-doctoral researchers, policy fellows, early career researchers and young professionals from around the world are invited to submit policy briefs, policy analyses and position papers, technology assessments and other articles addressing bold and innovative policy and diplomacy ideas for tackling complex societal problems around GEC that have become increasingly transboundary in nature. Submission deadline: January 22, 2023. This Special Issue is supported in-kind by outreach partners from the Belmont Forum and SRI Congress. “The traditional governance framework for science to policy is under tremendous strain. There are over 900 multilateral and over 1500 bilateral treaties and other international agreements dealing with environmental issues. This fragmentation creates conflicting decisions under different multilateral instruments, duplication of efforts and competition for limited funds. In the face of urgent global change issues we need to invest more in collaboration and synergies,” said Marcos Regis da Silva, Executive Director for the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI). “The transdisciplinary approach outlined in the agreement that created the IAI 30 years ago is revolutionary. A regional approach is needed to meet the challenges of complex multinational problems and build systems and institutions that encourage scientific excellence, open data, and the true, equitable, and inclusive participation of all stakeholders in the co-production of knowledge. The next generation of science and policy leaders have new ideas and need an Inter-American platform to amplify their voices and cultivate skills to support effective regional solutions.” Challenges posed by GEC are complex and require a transdisciplinary approach which involves the co-design and co-production of research with a diverse coalition of stakeholders including scientists, government decision-makers and civil society actors working together towards sustainable solutions. This includes working at the science policy and diplomacy interface, as many of these challenges are transboundary, regional or global, and require partnerships within and between countries, as no single nation has the capabilities nor the resources to solve these global problems alone. “Solving Global Environmental Change (GEC) challenges requires a full and open exchange of scientific information, and necessitates a multistakeholder community dedicated to addressing these issues,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG CEO and Managing Publisher. “JSPG is thrilled to partner with the Inter-American Institute for Global Change Research (IAI) on this call for papers to showcase early career voices in addressing global science policy and diplomacy challenges, and to continue expanding the journal’s reach across the Americas.” Accepted articles will be entered into a policy paper competition, where a committee of experts in the science policy-diplomacy interface of global environmental change will select the top three articles. First, second and third place article winners will have the opportunity to present published work at the Sustainability Research and Innovation Congress in Republic of Panama in June 2023. Leading up to the submission deadline, JSPG and IAI will organize a series of training sessions to provide prospective authors with opportunities to practice policy writing, and to inspire and empower them with expert perspectives on science-policy communication to inform their submissions to the Special Issue. ### About JSPG

While the open science movement has gained significant momentum over the last several years, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for increased access to scientific knowledge and fostering international scientific collaboration. It has also created opportunities for institutions and governments to develop tools needed for highlighting the crucial role of basic sciences for sustainable development. “Closed science models are at an impasse, because they amplify inequalities between countries and researchers, and because they only make scientific progress available to a minority. The health crisis has shown the incredible potential of scientific collaboration, which allowed us to sequence the genome of the COVID-19 virus so quickly,” said Audrey Azoulay, UNESCO Director-General. “The solidarity shown by the scientific community is a model for the future: in the face of global challenges, we need collective intelligence, today more than ever. As countries call for international scientific collaboration, as the scientific community, civil society, innovators and the private sector mobilize in these unprecedented times, the urgency of the transition to open science has never been more clear.” We invite students, post-doctoral researchers, policy fellows, early career researchers and young professionals from around the world to develop bold and innovative policy and governance ideas for exploring the untapped potential of open science to create a better society, and push for the attainment of the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Submission deadline: July 10, 2022. The call for papers and competition will result in a Special Topics Issue of JSPG to be released in 2022. Authors of the top three publications will have the opportunity to present in UNESCO and MGCY events on open science. This Special Issue is supported in-kind by outreach partners from the Global Young Academy Open Science Working Group. “Open science, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, is critical to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and to creating a more equitable global society. Young people, especially young scientists and engineers, have an important role to play in the process of open science policy creation and implementation because it is our lives and our careers that will be the most powerfully impacted by open science,” said Victoria Lovins, Co-Platform Coordinator, Science-Policy Interface, Major Group for Children and Youth (MGCY). Leading up to the submission deadline, JSPG will organize a series of training sessions to provide prospective authors with opportunities to practice policy writing for the Special Issue, and to inspire and empower them with expert perspectives on open science policies to inform their submissions. These events will include a science policy paper writing workshop on open science policy development, collaborative governance, scientific culture, and international cooperation, and a series of four webinars where content experts will discuss open science topics to be covered in the Special Issue. “The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for increased sharing of scientific knowledge and collaboration across the globe. Now more than ever, it is critical to break down barriers to accessing this knowledge across countries and within our local communities, and to build a common vision for a better society,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG CEO and Managing Publisher. “JSPG is thrilled to partner with UNESCO and MGCY on this call for papers, and to incorporate the innovative policy ideas developed by the next generation into shaping the future of our society by leveraging the potential of open science.” ### About JSPG

JSPG Celebrates a Decade as a Publishing Leader in Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy
WASHINGTON, DC (November 1, 2021) - The Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) is pleased to release Volume 19, Issue 01, marking 10 years since our first published standard issue in 2011. To commemorate this occasion, we have taken a historical perspective by focusing on Celebrating a Decade of Publishing Innovative Policy Solutions Designed by the Next Generation.
This standard issue of JSPG has 13 practical and innovative articles addressing topics such as food sustainability on land and sea; the intimate relationship between climate change, public health and security; and the need for institutional reforms that can lead to a more equitable and ethical policymaking process to improve our society.
|
"This issue demonstrates the true breadth of expertise reflected in our authors at JSPG. I am particularly proud of how the authors have leveraged a critical eye to examine policy through the lens of environmental, health, regulatory and social justice needs,” said Ben Wolfson, JSPG Assistant Editor-in-Chief for Standard Editions. “Following in the precedents established by JSPG’s first standard issue, our authors continue to interrogate the impacts of science policy from university regulations to making policy recommendations addressing broad subjects such as regenerative agriculture and power grid resilience."

Similarly, 10 years ago, the first standard issue of JSPG had 7 outstanding articles addressing environmental policy areas such as reducing demand on groundwater sources and ocean acidification; health-related topics including research outputs related to Environmental, Health, & Safety, and the need for diversity in clinical trials; and ways to reform institutional infrastructures and incentives to fulfill our national objectives in research and highlight societal benefits of university research.
|
“The fact that 10 years apart, both of these standard issues focused largely on environmental, health and research policies, points out the evergreen nature of these policy topics, but also the incredibly innovative solutions designed by our authors to address critical and timely topics of their time,” said Adriana Bankston, JSPG CEO & Managing Publisher. “This volume highlights solutions designed by the next generation to address evergreen policy topics in a manner that is adaptive to the needs of our society today."
|
To reflect on these topics, JSPG’s Editor-in-Chief Rosie Dutt and CEO & Managing Publisher Adriana Bankston have co-authored a cover memo focused on empowering the next generation to leverage their innovative ideas published in the journal to make a positive impact in society today and into the future.
