Abstract

Episciences represents an innovative and sustainable approach to Diamond Open Access (OA) publishing through its overlay journal platform. As a pioneer in the overlay journal ecosystem, Episciences demonstrates how diverse funding streams can create a resilient economic foundation for Diamond OA publishing while strengthening the scholarly commons through an academic-led, academic-funded model that is not profit-driven. Episciences' sustainability is anchored in a multi-layered funding approach that distributes financial responsibility across various stakeholders: - foundational institutional support, - infrastructure efficiency, - project-Based funding, - journal-Specific support, - community contributions and collective Funding.
