This blog post aims at providing you with a somewhat detailed overview of various aspects of our operations during 2023. It is by no means meant to be exhaustive, leaving out many aspects such as internal technical, editorial, financial and organizational matters. Nonetheless, we hope this overview provides a faithful approximation of how it is all going with our initiative.
In brief, in 2023 we decided to scale up the team to tackle growing backlogs due to increasing demands on our services, despite the lack of financial certainty. This strategy certainly helped address the most pressing delays, but depleted our financial reserves. Our growth is stunted and long-term financial sustainability remains a distant perspective without a more engaged support from academic organizations which benefit from our activities.
