Rigor or Symmetry? Reflections on Fifteen Years of Diamond Open Access
Abstract
In an academic landscape where business models increasingly overshadow research models, Biointerface Research in Applied Chemistry marks fifteen years of continuous publication under a fully free Open Access policy. No article processing charges. No institutional subsidies. No transformative agreements. No strategic sponsors. Only commitment, voluntary effort-and, quite literally, personal financial support. Such species still exist.
