“Extremely friendly staff that answered all my questions. I have published approximately 30 articles in my career, and this was by far the article with the easiest publication process and the fastest turnaround time. My article went from being accepted to posted online as an article in advance in its final form within one week, which is exceptionally fast.. quick review and online publication process. great quality journal.”

Industry 4.0 has come as a consecutive and predicted outcome of the previous industrial periods, recently dubbed Industry 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 (Pereira and Romero Citation2017). As an expected outcome, companies were proactively prepared for the transformational potential of this opportunity by defining in advance the most suitable manufacturing models, operational processes and targets –coming prepared for the associated challenges (Almada-Lobo Citation2016; Pereira and Romero Citation2017).

This special volume explores topics related to green and sustainable supply chain management (GSSCM) in platform economies. This article aims to provide an overview by dividing these topics into six groups: (1) platform-based GSSCM, (2) technological innovations supporting GSSCM in the platform economy, (3) data-driven sustainable development of the supply chain, (4) influencing factors of supply chain management (SCM), (5) coping with disruptions in SCM, and (6) data-driven medical SCM.
