1000th Publication at SciPost

17 September 2021 

SciPost, the innovative scientist-led diamond open access publishing portal, is delighted to announce it has published its 1000th article this week. The paper by Barry M. Dillon, Tilman Plehn, Christof Sauer and Peter Sorrenson, entitled “Better Latent Spaces for Better Autoencoders”, was published in SciPost Physics.

SciPost's mission is to develop a genuinely open access publication system, community-led, without subscription paywalls or publication costs for authors. SciPost is strictly non-profit and is fully guided by open science principles.

Since the launch of its first journal in 2016, SciPost Physics, SciPost has been embraced by the research and wider academic communities. In the following years several new journals were launched, in other disciplines (chemistry, astronomy) or publishing different article types (lecture notes, proceedings).

SciPost is owned and run by the research community. Over 170 professional scientists manage the innovative peer-witnessed review process and they are regularly consulted about SciPost’s policies and processes. The SciPost model delivers freely, openly, globally and perpetually accessible science, financially supported by over 60 universities, libraries and funding agencies around the world. These organisations recognise the benefits of this model.

We want to thank our authors, readers, referees, Fellows of the Editorial Colleges, Advisors, sponsors and supporters for contributing to SciPost’s success. We look forward to expanding our open science services, further empowering the research community to implement genuinely open scientific publishing.
