Our featured journal for Open Access Week 2024, Semiotica has been published by De Gruyter Mouton since 1969. Recently, the journal stepped into a new era of open access with the Subscribe to Open model. In this interview, the editorial team explain how the transition is making research more accessible and bolstering the journal’s global impact.

In December 2023, the journal Nanophotonics published a special issue in support of Ukrainian scientists. Prominent scientists contributed thirty-three papers to the special issue. Open access article fees, together with an additional donation from one of the authors, raised over €80,000.
