SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics)

SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics) is a global collaboration that funds and manages the free, open access publication of research articles in particle physics. Instead of researchers or institutions paying to access individual papers, SCOAP3 pool resources to cover publishing costs, making the latest scientific findings freely available to everyone worldwide. This model promotes open science, accelerates discovery, and ensures that knowledge is accessible without subscription barriers, fostering greater collaboration and transparency in the scientific community.
