Equitable Access, Open Science, and the Future of Publishing in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry
2025
Abstract
The landscape of academic publishing, including in geochemistry and cosmochemistry, is evolving toward greater openness and accessibility. This editorial outlines the vision for Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, a diamond open access journal that eliminates article processing charges and prioritizes equitable access to scientific knowledge. The journal’s commitment to Open Science as well as diversity in authorship and editorial representation aims to address systemic inequities in research publishing. Drawing on the success of journals like Volcanica, we emphasize the importance of fostering inclusivity and interdisciplinary research in Earth and planetary sciences. By adopting a community-driven approach, Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry seeks to create a publishing platform that reflects the values of excellent and cutting-edge science, equity, diversity, and innovation, ensuring that knowledge is accessible to all, regardless of geographical or financial limitations.
