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.

Special Issue Inspired by the 75th Anniversary of Science, The Endless Frontier Released
Washington, DC (August 30, 2021) – With support from The Kavli Foundation, the Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) are proud to release the Special Issue on Shaping the Future of Science Policy.
The issue builds on and from Vannevar Bush’s 1945 signature text Science, The Endless Frontier, which called for a centralized approach to government-sponsored science. Recommendations from the report led to the creation of the National Science Foundation, the development of the American research university, and generated fundamental policy frameworks underlying the basic research enterprise in the U.S.
Over the past several months, the Journal of Science Policy & Governance (JSPG) has undergone a number of staff changes.
