Regeneration Journal wins the 2025 Best New Journal Award from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ)   

We are pleased to announce that Regeneration; Environment, Art, Culture, published by the Open Library of Humanities, has won the 2025 Best New Journal Award from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ). 

Regeneration: Environment, Art, Culture is an open-access, double anonymous peer-reviewed journal of the environmental humanities. The journal was first launched in 2024. It has since published three issues of work bringing together the scholarship of humanists, activists, artists, and scientists into conversation with environmental matters. 
 
The Council of Editors of Learned Journals (CELJ) awards the Best New Journal Award to recognize emergent journals that publish work of an interdisciplinary scope and offer paradigm-shifting knowledge contributions.  

Anthony Lioi, one of the three editors who comprise Regeneration’s editorial collective, said: "We are honored to accept this award in the name of our authors, special editors, board members, and especially the OLH staff, whose open access platform makes Regeneration possible." 

Regeneration is one of 35 journals published by the Open Library of Humanities. The Open Library of Humanities is an award-winning, academic-led, diamond open-access publisher based in Birkbeck, University of London.  

The OLH operates through a Library Partnership Subsidy model, which means journals such as Regeneration are funded by a library consortium, rather than author fees. This funding mechanism enables equitable open access in the humanities disciplines, with charges neither to readers nor authors. 

A huge congratulations to Stephanie Foote, Anthony Lioi, and Dana Luciano of the Regeneration editorial team for earning this prestigious honor!
