Sedimentologika: a Community-Driven Diamond Open Access Journal in Sedimentology

Sedimentologika is a community-driven Diamond Open Access (DOA) scientific journal about sedimentology. The journal aims to create a place where people can publish their research and access scientific studies on all types of sedimentary processes, methods, deposits, and environments, across all spatial and temporal scales, on Earth or any other planetary body, for free. The published material will be free to share (i.e., no embargo period) since authors retain the copyright. Sedimentologika is driven by the community for the community and is part of a broader DOA movement in geosciences. Sedimentologika aspires at emancipating from the financial barriers associated to private publishing houses to provide direct and equal access to science to all citizens, scientists, and institutions all over the globe. This journal will be defined by Open Science principles to promote ethical dissemination of science and knowledge, following high equality, diversity, and inclusion standards. Each step of the review and publication process will be visible and easy to follow for authors, reviewers and the community. Sedimentologika will be launched by mid-2022 and we are always looking for motivated people keen on giving a little bit of their time to make Sedimentologika a viable and recognized peer-reviewed scientific journal.
