Background

This invitation-only Editors’ Picks Research Topic is led by our Chief Editor and Associate Editors, who selectively invite manuscripts from authors conducting impactful and innovative research. All types of contributions are welcome, including original research, methods papers, community studies, policy briefs, and other valuable additions to the literature. The collection brings together standout standalone papers chosen for their scientific quality, originality, and potential influence on the field. Articles do not need to be thematically connected to each other; instead, each contribution is featured on its own merit as part of a curated showcase of cutting-edge work.

Topic Editor Rebecca Elizabeth Tharme is the founder and director of Riverfutures Ltd. The other Topic Editors declare no competing interests with regard to the Research Topic subject.
