Become a Guardian of Open Knowledge: Your Support Makes the Revolution Possible
Dear friend of knowledge, dear champion of a brighter academic future,
Imagine a world where a brilliant mind, regardless of their funding or institutional prestige, can share their discovery with the globe. Imagine a world where a student in a developing region, a curious citizen, or an underfunded researcher can access the latest scientific breakthroughs without hitting a paywall. This isn’t a distant dream—it is the very mission we are building at Knowledge Barrierless Press.
But to keep this mission alive, we really need your help.
For decades, academic publishing has been trapped in a broken system. It forces a cruel choice: either burden the reader with exorbitant subscription fees or charge the author staggering sums known as Article Processing Charges (APCs). This leaves countless voices silenced and invaluable research locked away. We founded Knowledge Barrierless Press to break this cycle. We believe knowledge is a common treasure, not a commodity.
Ours is a different path—one of courage, fairness, and radical openness.
We have pioneered a sustainable yet equitable model that does not rely solely on traditional subscriptions or high APCs. In fact, the fee we ask from authors is symbolic—far below what is needed to actually sustain the infrastructure, editing, platform, and peer-review coordination that world-class publishing requires. We do this because we will never put a price tag on the right to share or access knowledge.
But idealism alone cannot keep the lights on.
Every published paper represents hours of meticulous work by editors, technological resources to ensure global accessibility, and the passionate labor of academic volunteers who believe in a better system. We are committed to transparency: even a modest contribution helps us cover essential costs like server maintenance, professional copy-editing, and DOI registration—ensuring that the research we publish remains permanently available to all.
This is where you come in.
You can be the bridge between a struggling idea and a global solution.
You can be the reason a young scholar’s work reaches the world.
You can help ensure that knowledge remains a commons—a shared foundation for future generations.
