Diamond open access: free to read, free to publish, peer reviewed. We publish operating evidence from people running things, not only studies about them.
Submit to JSBFSSocial business practice, food sovereignty and food systems, natural building, community-scale renewable energy, and community health. We particularly want negative results, replication, and honest post-mortems of ventures that failed.
Practitioner submissions are welcome and are reviewed on the same terms as academic ones.
Submit a main manuscript and a fully anonymised copy with names, affiliations, acknowledgements and self-citations removed.
Data availability is mandatory. If the data cannot be shared, say why. If your evidence is an operating record rather than a dataset, say that too — it is still evidence.
We follow COPE guidance. Every submission is checked for similarity before it reaches an editor, and reviewers must declare competing interests.
Where research involves a community, we ask how that community was involved in designing it and what it gets back.
