lang="EN-GB">Publishing After Progress brings together a series
of reflections and discussions that illuminate the current state
of scholarly publishing. It highlights the field's ongoing
commercial and technological consolidation, evolving under the
rhetoric of internationalisation, excellence and modern
capitalist progress as an unequivocal benefit. The issue
includes analyses of the wide-ranging geopolitical, epistemic,
social and cognitive effects of this evolution, marked by a
focus on quantifiable outcomes, productivity- and
visibility-driven metrics of success, and individual
achievement.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"
style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span
lang="EN-GB">Beyond its diagnostic and analytical scope,
Publishing after Progress explores the tension between
contemporary institutional expectations related to publishing
(including research, writing, editing, reviewing, designing and
licensing), and how individuals and communities actually want to
– or already do – engage in their work, based on their values,
expertise and understanding of their writing's needs in light of
persistent inequalities in scholarship and scholarly publishing,
as well as planetary crises and emergencies.<span></span></span></p>

lang="EN-GB">Publishing After Progress</span><span lang="EN-GB">
tentatively maps out emergent types of 'resistant' research,
publishing and scholarship, unveiling diverse and ongoing
stories from activist, artistic and academic authors. These
contributors have begun to address the conflict between
institutional expectations and their own situated visions of
what their work requires in an increasingly troubled and
troubling world. Collectively, the articles grapple with the
possibility of a politics of engagement in publishing beyond a
prevailing capitalist ethos of competition and individual
performance evaluation – celebrated by many contemporary
institutions as 'progress' – while practically facilitating
spaces to experiment with what such politics could entail. <span></span></span></p>

when disparities in academia and scholarly communication persist
alongside environmental and humanitarian emergencies – </span><span
lang="EN-GB">Kiesewetter has endevoured </span><span
lang="EN-GB">to underscore the importance of continuously
rethinking the value, scope and purpose of scholarly publishing
as well as scholarship more broadly, while remaining committed
to fostering intellectual questioning, rigor, debate and the
radical democratisation of knowledge creation processes in the
sake of knowledge equity and diversity. In this spirit,
Publishing after Progress invites its readers to engage with
their own writing, editing, review, design and publishing
activities: not merely as competitive producers of knowledge,
but as active participants in collaboratively shaping the
present and future conditions of academic publishing and
academic work more broadly. <span></span></span></p>
