Abstract

In 2025, Netherlands Journal of Geosciences (NJG) moved from Cambridge University Press to Open Academia. The practicalities of this move, particularly rebuilding the website, provided a natural opportunity for the editorial team to assess the journal’s scope and direction. In this editorial, I would like to share some of our key findings and resulting actions. I will also share news about a team vacancy and recent NJG Publication Awards.
