Thank you to everyone who joined La communication scientifique à l’ère des nouvelles technologies on 18th November at the Maison de la Chimie in Paris.

For our November #RoadToOpen article, we revisit one of our favourite themes: Subscribe to Open. Here we highlight some key take-aways from EDP Sciences’ participation in the recent OASPA “Wayfinders” webinar. OASPA’s Wayfinders Series focuses on increasing equity in open access publishing, as an alternative to pay-to-publish models in open access. The discussion explored the Subscribe to Open (S2O) model, emphasising its potential to foster sustainable and equitable Open Access. At EDP Sciences, our S2O journey continues to be guided by principles of community collaboration, transparency, and innovation, as we work to shape a more inclusive publishing landscape.

EDP Sciences is pleased to announce its renewed commitment to Research4Life, an initiative that provides vital research content to institutions in lower- and middle-income countries covered by the programme. As part of this recommitment,

Paris, France – 28 November 2024. EDP Sciences has announced an immediate pause in the publication of new proceedings in E3S Web of Conferences and BIO Web of Conferences until the end of 2024. This decision reflects the company’s commitment to upholding the highest standards of scientific integrity and addressing emerging challenges in conference proceedings publishing.

This is our October #RoadToOpen article in celebration of Open Access Week 2024, themed “Community over Commercialisation.” EDP Sciences reflects on our learnings and the progress of our Subscribe to Open (S2O) journey, which has followed a community-driven path rooted in equity and transparency.

We are thrilled to announce that EPJ Web of Conferences has been accepted for indexing in Scopus.
EPJ Web of Conferences is an open access publication series focused on publishing high-quality conference proceedings in the fields of Physics and related sciences.

This news is part of EDP Sciences’ ongoing "Road to Open" series, now in its ninth update, which highlights our commitment to transparency in open access publishing. Here we focus on the importance of transparency in open access, at the occasion of the release of our 2024 transparency report, showcasing the financial and operational details of the Subscribe to Open model for mathematics journals. Transparency in open access publication, both financial and otherwise, ensures trust, accountability, and the integrity of the scholarly communication process. It allows researchers, institutions, and the public to understand the costs, funding sources, promoting equity and ethical practices in knowledge dissemination.

On the occasion of Peer Review Week, we would like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to our reviewers. Your dedication remains invaluable to the integrity and quality of the scientific record.
