Press releases – Support to Ukrainian editorial staff – Soutien à l'édition savante en Ukraine

Full list of supported journals

As summer reaches its end, the scientific committee delivered the full list of Ukrainian journals the SUES program will be able to help. From social sciences to biology or technologies, many scholarly fields are represented.

The committee took under consideration 114 journals whose statement of needs was submitted via SUES web form by the end of June. The goal was to add 35 new journals to the list of ten already published during the crowdfunding campaign. The evaluation was conducted iteratively, according to the criteria reflecting the general principles of SUES, especially ensuring that the help will go to the journals in need, and planning a wider cooperation with SUES partners. We took into consideration the journal’s history, recent issues, open access policy/plans, presence in journal indexes, location in regions directly affected by the war, interest in further cooperation with SUES partners, expression of needs. We also acknowledged that also journals from regions not directly affected need support, hence we tried to ensure that the funding reaches as many institutions as possible. The choice was extremely difficult given the circumstances and general quality of the journals.

The Scientific Committee expresses its awe for the diversity and quality of Ukrainian scholarly journals. We are also deeply indebted to institutions and individuals who generously supported the crowdfunding campaign.
The current SUES actions are a temporary measure and a pilot programme for a more sustainable action. We call upon the European Commission and ministries of science of the European countries to provide funds for a more comprehensive support programme. The SUES team is open for discussing the further expansion of this programme with funding institutions.

Successful campaign to support Ukrainian university publishing and first exchanges

As a result of the support campaign organised by the European initiative SUES (Support to Ukrainian editorial staff)/SESU (Support to Scholarly Publishing in Ukraine), 45 scientific journals and publishers will receive support totalling over €73,000. The campaign also initiated exchanges between publishing professionals in Europe and Ukraine.
SUES is an initiative of European institutions, infrastructures, organisations and French scientific publishing professionals. It was formed in March 2022 to support scientific communication in Ukraine by providing assistance to academic journals and publishers. One of the objectives is to enable these structures to continue their editorial activities despite the war context.
A crowdfunding campaign was launched on May the 6th, 2022, the results of which have exceeded all expectations: by the closing date of June the 24th, more than 73,000 euros had been raised, thanks to the contributions of 157 donors, individuals and organisations, from all over the world (the initial goal was to obtain 16,500 euros, in order to support about ten journals).
To the 118 donations (for a total amount of more than 20,000 euros), collected through crowdfunding launched on the Wemakeit platform, made mainly by individuals, but also from some major public institutions, associations, learned societies and publishers, were added those made by Knowledge Unlatched/Wiley, from the community of publishers and University libraries (36,000 euros, more than 38 donors). Finally, the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research has decided to donate an additional 16,500 euros, through its National Fund for Open Science (FNSO), to support 10 additional journals, shared in open access in Ukraine.
This funding will be distributed among 45 Ukrainian scientific journals and publishers. The latter had applied following a survey circulated in May 2022 by SUES, which aimed to gain a better understanding of the Ukrainian scientific publishing landscape, establish contacts with stakeholders, and determine their most urgent needs. The applications were examined by a scientific committee (composition of editorial committees, evaluation procedures, editorial quality, distribution methods), and 45 of them were selected for this first campaign. The Committee took care to take into account the diversity of the disciplines represented.
This funding campaign was accompanied by contacts with representatives of these journals, leading to exchanges and the production of videos. It was followed by the creation of a blog that will keep the community informed of the project’s progress and by the organisation of webinars bringing together European scientific publishers. Beyond the financial aspects, it seems essential to continue the dialogue initiated during this campaign between publishing professionals in Europe and Ukraine.

Communiqué de presse, 30 juin 2022

Une campagne de soutien à l’édition universitaire ukrainienne fructueuse et des premiers échanges tissés

Suite à la campagne de soutien organisée par l’initiative européenne SUES (Support to Ukrainian editorial staff)/SESU (Soutien à l’édition savante en Ukraine), 45 revues et éditeurs scientifiques recevront une aide, pour un montant total de plus de 73 000 euros. Cette campagne a également permis d’initier des échanges entre professionnels de l’édition en Europe et en Ukraine.

Le SUES est une initiative d’institutions, d’infrastructures, d’organisations européennes et de professionnels de l’édition scientifique française. Il s’est constitué en mars 2022 pour soutenir la communication scientifique en Ukraine en apportant une aide aux revues savantes et aux éditeurs universitaires. L’un des objectifs est de permettre à ces structures de poursuivre leurs activités éditoriales malgré le contexte de guerre.

Une campagne de financement participatif a été lancée le 6 mai 2022, dont les fruits ont dépassé toute attente : à sa date de clôture, le 24 juin, plus de 73 000 euros ont été recueillis, grâce aux contributions de 157 donateurs, individuels et organisations, du monde entier (le pari était initialement d’obtenir 16 500 euros, pour soutenir une dizaine de revues).

Aux 118 dons (pour un montant total de plus de 20 000 euros), recueillis par le crowdfunding lancé sur la plateforme Wemakeit, effectués pour l’essentiel par des particuliers, mais aussi venus de quelques grandes institutions publiques, d’associations, de sociétés savantes, d’éditeurs, se sont ajoutés ceux apportés par Knowledge Unlatched/Wiley, issus de la communauté des éditeurs et bibliothèques universitaires (36 000 euros, plus de 38 donateurs). Enfin, le ministère français de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche a décidé de donner 16 500 euros supplémentaires, par l’intermédiaire de son Fonds national pour la science ouverte (FNSO), pour soutenir 10 revues supplémentaires, diffusées en accès ouvert en Ukraine.

Cette somme sera répartie entre 45 revues et éditeurs scientifiques ukrainiens. Ces derniers avaient déposé une demande suite à l’enquête diffusée en mai 2022 par le SUES, qui visait à mieux connaître le paysage de l’édition scientifique ukrainienne, à établir des contacts avec des acteurs de celle-ci, et à déterminer leurs besoins les plus urgents. Les demandes ont été examinées par un comité scientifique (composition des comités éditoriaux, procédures d’évaluation, qualité éditoriale, modes de diffusion), et 45 d’entre elles ont été retenues pour cette première campagne. Le Comité a veillé à tenir compte de la diversité des disciplines représentées.

Cette campagne de financement a été accompagnée de prises de contacts avec des représentants de ces revues, donnant lieu à des échanges et à la production de vidéos. Elle s’est prolongée par la création d’un blog qui permettra d’informer la communauté des suites de ce projet et par l’organisation de webinaires rassemblant des éditeurs scientifiques européens. Au-delà des aspects financiers, il paraît en effet primordial de poursuivre le dialogue initié lors de cette campagne entre des professionnels de l’édition en Europe et en Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine is impacting our colleagues in scholarly publishing – We set up the Supporting Ukrainian Editorial Staff program to provide editorial staff in Ukraine with the help they need

Les institutions donatrices sont mentionnées dans la liste ci-dessous. La liste des donateurs individuels est présente sur la plateforme Wemakeit, sauf s’ils ont choisi de rester anonyme.

Thank you to our 157 donors who provided 73 000 euros to support 45 scientific journals and publishers in Ukraine

On the 24th of June, we could finally close our crowdfunding campaign and do the accounts: thanks to the amazing generosity of 157 donors, individuals and organisations from all parts of the world, we could manage to collect more than 73 000 euros in total, which will give us the possibility to support financially around 45 journals. This is way beyond our initial target and expectation which was 16 500 euros to support 10 journals!

How was it managed? First we opened a campaign on the crowdfunding platform Wemakeit where we collected more than 20 000 euros from 118 donors, mostly individuals. Then, we were contacted by Sven Fund from Knowledge Unlatched/Wiley who proposed to help collecting funding from the publishers and libraries community. All in all, KU collected 36 000 euros more from 38 donors. Finally, we received the wonderful news that the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research decided to give 16 500 euros more through its Open Science National Fund to support 10 more open access journals in Ukraine !

In the name of the SUES and SESU committees, we would like to express our gratitude to the 157 donors, individuals and organisations who made this possible. And to all those who gave their best to share the information and encourage others to participate. You will find below the list of organisations who participated. The list of individual donors can be found on Wemakeit platform. Some chose not to disclose their identity. Thank you to them as well.
