Our Story & Mission
What is Global Supply Chain Insights?
Global Supply Chain Insights (GSCI) is a UK-based open-access digital magazine dedicated to advancing knowledge in the fields of supply chain management and logistics. We publish in-depth articles, expert opinions, industry analysis, and research-led commentary — all freely accessible to readers worldwide.
Our content spans the full breadth of the supply chain and logistics sector: from procurement strategy and warehouse operations to last-mile delivery, green logistics, digital transformation, and global trade policy. Whether you are a senior industry professional, an academic researcher, an emerging practitioner, or a student — GSCI is built for you.
We believe that quality knowledge should not sit behind paywalls. In an industry as critical as supply chain and logistics, the free exchange of ideas and evidence-based insight benefits everyone — from multinational corporations managing complex global networks to small businesses navigating an increasingly demanding trade environment.

About the Editor
Farhad Hossain
Researcher in Supply Chain Management & Founding Editor
Farhad Hossain is a researcher in supply chain management at a UK university, where his doctoral work focuses on disruption, resilience, and the structural vulnerabilities of modern global supply chains. He brings a rigorous, evidence-based perspective to every editorial decision and to the broader mission of this publication.
Prior to founding GSC Insights, Farhad developed professional experience in supply chain operations and logistics management, working directly with the operational challenges that practitioners across the sector face daily. It is that combination of academic rigour and practical grounding that defines the editorial voice of this magazine.
GSC Insights was founded out of a conviction that high-quality, research-led insight should be freely accessible — not restricted to those with institutional access or the budget for subscription services. The magazine serves as both a platform for the wider supply chain community and as a vehicle for disseminating emerging research in an accessible, professionally engaging format.
Farhad reviews all submissions personally and is responsible for all final editorial decisions. He is committed to the standards of transparency, independence, and intellectual rigour that are set out in the magazine's published editorial policy.
