Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis of the sustainability aspects between print and electronic journals. A narrative synthesis is presented under the three key areas of environmental impact, social impact, and impact on research practices. Over the past decades, the gradual transition from print to electronic media has facilitated greater global access to academic research, reshaped research methodologies through innovative tools and systems, and arguably, reduced the ecological footprint of academia.

期刊介绍： Since its establishment in 2003, The Surgeon has established itself as one of the leading multidisciplinary surgical titles, both in print and online. The Surgeon is published for the worldwide surgical and dental communities. The goal of the Journal is to achieve wider national and international recognition, through a commitment to excellence in original research. In addition, both Colleges see the Journal as an important educational service, and consequently there is a particular focus on post-graduate development. Much of our educational role will continue to be achieved through publishing expanded review articles by leaders in their field. Articles in related areas to surgery and dentistry, such as healthcare management and education, are also welcomed. We aim to educate, entertain, give insight into new surgical techniques and technology, and provide a forum for debate and discussion.
