The issue is opened with a joint editorial written by Lettie Conrad and Pippa Smart and discusses the question of diversity and inclusivity – we like to think of ourselves as a global, inclusive industry, but in reality how accessible to we make our content (and we’re not talking about OA here) and how do we reflect research and knowledge from all corners of the world? There are many great articles in this issue ranging from 'Institutional repositories verses ResearchGate', 'The performance of Asian S&T journals in international citation indicators', 'Early career researchers and their publishing and authorship practices' to name just a few.
