Equitable Access, Open Science, and the Future of Publishing in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry | Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry

As we launch Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, it is essential to outline our vision and goals for the future. We draw inspiration from recently launched diamond open access (DOA) journals established by the geoscience community, which have introduced a new, inclusive, and community-driven publishing model (Farquharson & Wadsworth, 2018; Rowe et al., 2022; Thomas et al., 2023; Fernández-Blanco et al., 2023). Here, we detail the ethos of Advances in Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, and how we aim to provide an alternative to the dominance of commercial publishers by fostering open access without financial barriers to authors.
