Angle Journal
Angle is a web based publication that offers original insights to both the Imperial College community, and external industry experts and policy-makers, and tackles a broad range of issues from energy, environment, agriculture and development, economics and finance, global health, and geopolitics. Through emphasis of the wider context in which science takes place, Angle provides a platform for scientists to engage with current global challenges.
Article submissions are open to experts and thinkers – interpreted in the broadest sense. We typically attract and invite pieces from academics, early-stage researchers and innovators, policy-makers and professionals in both the public and private sphere. Articles are loosely grouped into three types: feature (standard), opinion piece and research article. Please send a short abstract to anglejournal@imperial.ac.uk if you are interested in publishing in the journal. Contributions of our journal have featured in major newspapers including New York Times and The Guardian.
