Taylor & Francis and Sense about Science are pleased to launch our first-ever “Research integrity toolkit”!

A COPE and STM study found that the percentage of suspect papers being submitted to journals ranges from 2 to as high as 46%. Another study found that there is a definite lack of clarity among researchers when it comes to ethical practices.

We worked hand-in-hand with two teams of early career researchers to develop guidance on the ever-growing challenge of research integrity. Easy-to-read and with clear guidelines and steps, we invite you to read and share widely, whether you are a researcher or work with the research community: https://tinyurl.com/ResearchIntegrityToolkit

Sustainable Communities is a scholarly open access, internationally peer-reviewed, and cross-disciplinary journal that provides a platform for academics working in different disciplines to collaborate and offer a joint focus for their research in advancing sustainable practices. The journal features sections on topics from building sustainable cities, to sustainable law and agriculture, and sustainable entrepreneurship – and Associate Editors from Brazil to China.

This week we’re shining a spotlight on the section editor for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Dr. Susana C. Santos. Dr. Santos is a Jim Moran Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship at Florida State University. Dr. Santos has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers. Her primary research interests focus on the intersection of entrepreneurship and adversity, in particular under conditions of poverty.

The 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer Global Report found that people don't trust the media in 14 of the 28 countries it surveyed. The report also found that most people think news organizations would: prefer to attract a big audience than tell people what they want to know; and rather support an ideology than inform the public.

Do you trust the media, and why do you think this trust in the media has declined?

Our newest blog looks at research that highlights why it's critical that people have trust in the media and why it has declined. We then examine ways journalists, media organizations, and policymakers can rebuild trust in the media. Take a read: https://tinyurl.com/RebuildingTrustInTheMedia

We were honored to be asked to present on the topic of energy security at “Evidence Week in Parliament” held by Sense about Science. Evidence Week brings together the public, researchers and parliamentarians to discuss how evidence is used and scrutinized at Westminster. It empowers legislators to engage with evidence, and equips them and their staff with critical skills, including tools to handle uncertainty, identify bias and scrutinize underlying assumptions.

Taylor & Francis’ policy briefing asked: ‘Can energy transition co-exist with energy security?’ Dr. Victor Azubike, Senior Lecturer at the University of Huddersfield, Consultant at CIRUU Energy London and author of an article published in the Journal of Energy & Natural Resources Law, discussed with parliamentarians the urgent need for strategic planning to resolve the policy challenge of balancing immediate energy security concerns and the imperative of systematic decarbonization.

This week we’re shining a spotlight on Ntina Tzouvala, who is an Associate Professor at the School of Global and Public Law, UNSW Sydney Faculty of Law & Justice. Her work focuses on the history, theory, and political economy of international law.

Professor Tzouvala took the time to dive deeper into her article “International law as a discipline in crisis”, published in the Australian Journal of International Affairs. Drawing on critical theory and political economy, Tzouvala challenges conventional groupings within the discipline and calls for a rethinking of legal frameworks to better confront inequality, structural bias, and global injustice.

Taylor & Francis is pleased to announce the publication of 32 new open access (OA) books on key global themes, including children’s welfare, global security, sustainability, and AI, through the collective funding initiative Pledge to Open. We’re also thrilled to confirm that the Pledge to Open initiative will run for a third year.

Pledge to Open supports the publication of books that are both free to read and free to publish for their authors. Through this collective funding initiative, pledging institutions enable worldwide dissemination of impactful research, which particularly benefits readers in resource-constrained regions and authors with limited OA funding.

24 institutions and consortia in Australia, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, UK, and USA pledged to support at least one of this year’s collections. Over half of authors who will see their book published OA through Pledge to Open are based in countries outside of Australasia, Europe, and North America.
