Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: Our Vision for Academic Publishing
At Knowledge Barrierless Press, we are reimagining the future of scholarly communication. We believe that knowledge is the common heritage of humanity, and our mission is to create a publishing ecosystem that is both equitable for creators and universally accessible to all.
Our Dual Commitment: Respect for Creators, Access for All
The debate between free and paid knowledge often presents a false dichotomy. We embrace a model that honors both:
Fair Compensation for Intellectual Labor: We believe that researchers, peer reviewers, and editors deserve recognition and fair material reward for their invaluable work. This respect for the creator is fundamental to a sustainable and ethical knowledge economy.
Barrier-Free Access to Knowledge: We equally believe that published research should be made available to anyone, anywhere, without financial, institutional, or geographic obstacles. This respect for knowledge itself ensures that discovery and innovation can flourish globally.
A New, Sustainable Economic Model
Traditional publishing models—whether Open Access (OA) with Article Processing Charges (APCs) or subscription-based—ultimately place the financial burden on one party: the author or the reader. We are pioneering a diversified approach that leverages the growing ecosystem of public academic infrastructure (such as OJS, ORCID, and Figshare) to significantly reduce operational costs. This allows us to explore sustainable funding avenues that do not rely on unlimited profit, ensuring that academic publishing serves its true purpose: the advancement and sharing of knowledge.

Our journey is fueled by a global community of passionate scholars. We invite you to be a part of this transformative endeavor. Whether you contribute as an author, reader, peer reviewer, editorial board member, or supporter, your engagement is crucial to our shared success.
