SciPost Expansion and Sustainability Drive 2018

Since our original call for openness in scientific publishing, things have been developing extremely well with SciPost. One quick glance at our publishing activities is hopefully enough to convince you that we are well on our way to implementing a more healthy infrastructure for scientific publishing.

Separately, big players are taking concrete steps towards Open Access (including the European Commission with its recent Call for Tenders, though you should read recent blog posts here and here for how this relates to SciPost).

The time is now ripe for us to be bold, and take the next steps in our implementation plans. Read on to see how you can significantly help us out.

Going for Genuine Open Access

At SciPost, our ambitions for Open Access publishing are uncompromised, as can be seen from our guiding principles or our short intro video. In particular, we implement the Genuine Open Access principles (which include an explicit non profit requirement), are resolutely quality-oriented and international in outlook.

The two pillars of our expansion and sustainability drive

Our immediate expansion plan is very simply summarized in the following two pillars:

The first aims to ensure we can process the increasing editorial workflow. The second aims to ensure that we can continue running the infrastructure supporting all those operations.

How you can help

On behalf of the SciPost foundation,
