The University and Students’ Union has officially launched Meliora – the first student-led peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal in sustainability.
The launch issue features articles from presenters from the first two international Meliora Symposia, with articles relating to alternative low-carbon diets, Facebook, prenuptial agreements and more.
The Meliora team are inviting research submissions, before 5 December to be considered for the next issue. All academic disciplines are related to sustainability – have a look at the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Shruti Verma, Student Editor-in-Chief commented:
“It’s been a rewarding experience building the journal from scratch, working closely with academics and students to launch our first issue. Student research can be incredibly powerful and relevant, we wanted to create a platform to demonstrate this and give students the opportunity to see their name in print.”
Professor Simon Kemp, Academic Editor-in-Chief said:
“I’m so proud of our student team of editors, reviewers and authors. The breadth and quality of articles showcases the excellence of student research, demonstrating how we are collectively working to make the world a better place. I’d also like to thank the Library team for helping to make this idea a reality”.
