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 offers a cost-efficient publishing solution by leveraging existing infrastructure and multi-stakeholder support. The overlay journal model eliminates costs associated with traditional publishing by building upon preprint repositories, creating a streamlined workflow that focuses resources on core scholarly communication functions.

## Episciences in figures

40 journals

More than 7,000 articles

More than 12,600 authors

Episciences' selection for the Global Sustainability Coalition for Open Science Services (SCOSS) funding program represents significant international recognition of our essential role in the open science infrastructure.

## Workflow submitting datasets and software with JoDaKISS

JoDaKISS is an international, multidisciplinary and diamond open access journal dedicated to supporting and advancing simulation science by publishing high-quality data and software for scientific computer simulations. By submitting and publishing datasets and accompanying data or software descriptors through JoDaKISS, researchers contribute to a growing repository of high-quality, reusable data that supports the advancement of simulation science.

JoDaKISS is a new journal on Episciences (January 2025) and a specific workflow has been designed by the Editorial board to handle the datasets, from submission to final publication, including the scientific evaluation phases and the metadata curation.
