Since beginning our Open Access (OA) Books program in 2013, we have published over 1,700 partially OA books (books which contain one or more OA chapters as well as non-OA chapters), in addition to our catalogue of over 3,200 fully OA titles.

We are proud to share findings from one of the first pieces of research to look at the impact of publishing individual chapters OA on usage.

This new analysis serves to underscore the positive findings from last year’s research on the impact of born and retrospective fully OA publication on eBook usage, which demonstrated a clear and significant boost in engagement for OA titles compared to non-OA titles.

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.
