Our Publishing Model: Sustainable Diamond Open Access
• The Philosophy & Commitment
While the ideal of “Diamond Open Access” is to be free for both readers and authors, ensuring long-term stability requires a sustainable approach. Our model asks for a minimal, symbolic fee ($365) from authors—far below the industry average—to cover essential publishing services.
• What the Fee Covers
This fee guarantees the quality of the entire process from submission to publication, primarily supporting:
-
Professional peer-review management
-
Reliable online hosting and long-term digital preservation
-
Standard editorial production and typesetting
-
Global indexing and dissemination
• The Value You Receive
Upon payment, your article is immediately published as Open Access under a liberal Creative Commons license (CC BY), granting permanent, free access to readers worldwide and enabling broad sharing and reuse.
