Natasha McDonald

Dr. Natasha McDonald is responsible for advancing the system of peer review at Canada’s largest scientific publisher to yield a more inclusive, transparent, and rigorous research output.

She is passionate about Open Science and is a proponent of challenging long-held narratives in scientific publishing that have led to the underrepresentation of researchers from a number of communities and regions.

Before moving into scholarly publishing, she held a career as a researcher in the field of marine biogeochemistry. She currently serves as a Higher Education Sustainability Initiative (HESI) UN SDG Publishers Compact Fellow.
