<p>By the end of 2018, we wish to have achieved:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Expansion</strong>: <i>to have a minimum of 200 Fellows in the <ahref="{% url 'scipost:about' %}#editorial_college_physics">Editorial College (Physics)</a>, with a minimum of 8 in each specialization;</i></li><br/>
<li><strong>Sustainability</strong>: <i>to achieve €200 000 yearly income from <ahref="{% url 'partners:partners' %}"target="_blank">Supporting Partners</a>.</i></li>
<li><strong>Sustainability</strong>: <i>to achieve €200 000 yearly income from <ahref="{% url 'partners:partners' %}"target="_blank">Supporting Partners</a> or other benefactors.</i></li>
</ul>
<p>
Our estimates are that we can fully process around 500 publications per year with this upscaling of our cost-slashing infrastructure.

Are you sympathetic towards what we are aiming to achieve? You can help us accelerate our growth with these easy steps:
</p>
<ul>
<li><i>Is your field insufficiently represented in our current <ahref="{% url 'scipost:about' %}#editorial_college_physics">Editorial College</a>?</i><br/>We are looking for world-class researchers to become Fellows. Send us your nominations at <ahref="mailto:admin@scipost.org">admin@scipost.org</a>.<br/>Please note that in view of our development plans, we also welcome nominations in fields beyond Physics.</li>
<li><i>Is your field insufficiently represented in our current <ahref="{% url 'scipost:about' %}#editorial_college_physics">Editorial College</a>?</i><br/>We are looking for world-class researchers to become Fellows. Send us your nominations at <ahref="mailto:admin@scipost.org">admin@scipost.org</a>.<br/>Are you a professorial-level researcher working as editor for non-<ahref="https://jscaux.org/blog/post/2018/05/05/genuine-open-access/"target="_blank">Genuine OA</a>-compliant publishers? Looking to invest your expertise in a more community-friendly alternative? Get in touch.<br/>Please note that in view of our development plans, we also welcome nominations in fields beyond Physics.</li>
<br/>
<li</li>
<li><i>Is your institution or funding agency not listed on our <ahref="{% url 'partners:partners' %}"target="_blank">Partners page</a>?</i><br/>Encourage them (through a librarian, Open Access officer, director, ...) to join by <ahref="{% url 'petitions:petition' slug='join-SPB' %}"target="_blank">signing our petition</a>, and by personally emailing them directly using this <ahref="mailto:?subject=Petition to support SciPost&body={% autoescape on %}{% include 'petitions/petition_email.html' %}{% endautoescape %}&cc=partners@scipost.org">email template</a>. Experience shows that such personal testimonies and statements of support from active scientists constitute the most persuasive means to convince institutions to support us.
<br/>Funders which have been acknowledged in SciPost publications are listed at <ahref="https://scipost.org/funders/"target="_blank">this link</a>; clicking on a funder will show how many publications they are related to, which have been produced at no direct cost to them by our cost-slashing operations. Seeing this might also help convincing them to become Partners.</li>
<br/>
<li><i>Are people in your surroundings and social network not yet sufficiently aware of SciPost?</i><br/>You can point them to our <ahref="https://youtu.be/Pgvd7EvehCI"target="_blank">intro video</a> and mention this drive on social media using the <ahref="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SciPost">#SciPost</a> hashtag.
</li>
<br/>
<li><i>Do you or people you know have the means to make a difference?</i><br/>All donations will be used to support running, maintaining and developing our infrastructure.
