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.
