First SRJ issue and happy birthday
First SRJ issue and happy birthday

As we celebrate David‘s birthday, it is appropriate to reflect on the background of the Social Responsibility Journal (SRJ). This image shows the very first issue of the Journal. The journal was founded by SRRNet after David organized the very first conference in the field. Originally published directly by SRRNet before Emerald Publishing requested to manage its publication, it was the first academic journal in the field and has since grown to be the leading journal in its category.

The very first issue of SRJ - N.B. - The website address mentioned on the cover page has changed to WWW.SRRNet.org

N.B. The Website address visible on the cover of the journal in the picture above has been changed to the current address: WWW.SRRNet.org

And the video shows a birthday party organised by the hosting university, UNEMI, in Quito, Ecuador, where we held our 21st conference in 2024. It was indeed a memorable moment. The video of course features another person: Prof Mariana Lima Bandeira, who is one of the editors of SRJ and who organised this memorable event. Our conferences are highly academic and provide excellent opportunities for international collaborations but also full of enjoyment. This year we are excited to hold our conference in Cluj Napoca, Romania. As always we are receiving submissions from a wide variety of disciplines and from very interesting parts of the world.

Birthday celebration for David during our conference in 2024 in Quito, Equador

Throughout the years, the SRRNet conferences have created a wonderful tool for meeting like-minded people from everywhere. Our conferences are really global! Thanks to the leadership, commitment, and contributions of our members from around the world, SRRNet has led the field of CSR and Sustainability for many years. SRJ is of course the first official journal of SRRNet. the second being Technological Sustainability (TechS) which covers the different areas of Engineering and Technology. Currently, the journal is indexed in the most significant global abstracts and is supported by David as the Editor-in-Chief, 16 editors, and a long list of devoted EAB members of SRRNet. Due to the high volume of papers received, the selection process becomes more and more rigorous every year.

In this video Dr Miriam Green talks about her experience with the Network and with the SRRNet conferences (recorded in 2023)

The Network is full of initiatives and new ideas as David has always been throughout his life. Soon there will be new arrangements for publications. Check our news and activities regularly.
