I am excited to invite you to contribute a Research Article, Review, Practice Bridge, Policy Bridge, or Commentary to an Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene Forum on "Multi-stakeholder Initiatives for Sustainable Supply Networks". The purpose of this Forum is to address the sustainability transition challenge: How are multi-stakeholder initiatives creating sustainable supply networks? The Forum is open for submissions now and will be through 2016.

Submissions are particularly encouraged from those who are engaging in real change and can share with others what they have learned. Submissions can address the following or similar research questions:

  *   How and why do multi-stakeholder sustainable supply network initiatives emerge and what is their impact?
  *   How are such initiatives effectively governed? * How does decision-making and social collaboration occur in such initiatives, and how is conflict managed and resolved?
  *   What is the role of participation by the public or civil society organizations in such initiatives?
  *   What is the role of private governance relative to public governance of sustainability issues?
  *   How do institutions, power, or culture impact such initiatives?
  *   How do different stakeholders prioritize such initiatives?
  *   How are data and analytical methods used in such initiatives?
  *   What are the major barriers towards emergence of collective action?
  *   What different theoretical perspectives can be used to study such initiatives, and what similar and different insights emerge from these different theoretical lenses?

Elementa is quickly becoming a high prestige outlet for sustainability researchers, and this Special Forum will attract a broad and diverse audience of scholars and practitioners to your work. Elementa is a fully open access, non-profit publishing platform co-founded by five universities and BioOne, a non-profit publisher.
