Humanitarian logisticians in the field need access to practical operational research to adapt to fast changing volatile environments. Similarly, there needs to be more publications from underrepresented universities on their local challenges. HELP Logistics is at the knowledge intersection of academia and humanitarian logistics. Making the JHLSCM open to all will advance our ambition of greater inter-sector knowledge collaboration.
