AGU Launches New Special Collection at the Nexus of Science and Policy
Seven AGU journals are encouraging submissions of policy-related commentaries and research articles, boosting scientists' voices to decision-makers.
The American Geophysical Union (AGU) has launched a new special collection aimed at bridging the gap between scientific research and policy-making. This initiative recognizes the accelerating global challenges faced by our planet, such as climate change, and the need for scientific evidence to guide decision-making. While public trust in science remains high, there is a disconnect between scientific evidence and policy implementation.
AGU's new collection aims to address this issue by fostering dialogue among scientific researchers and decision-makers at an international level. The special collection, which will be published across seven AGU journals, welcomes various forms of contributions, including commentaries, research articles, assessments, and evaluations that directly relate to Earth, space, and environmental sciences.
AGU emphasizes the global nature of the challenges at hand and the need to preserve evidence-based research, especially in the face of political shifts in the United States. The organization is committed to advocating for science and its members, both nationally and locally, and looks forward to receiving contributions to this new special collection.
The AGU Science Policy program will continue to support science and its members, ensuring that the conversation around science and policy continues beyond this announcement.
