Electroweak precision physics will enter the regime of per-mille and sub per-mille with the start of FCC-ee (or an alternative Higgs factory). We will describe the needs for theory predictions in order that the theoretic uncertainties match the size of the anticipated experimental (statistic and systematic) uncertainties. [...]

The shift towards Open Access (OA) and associated necessities of budget planning and contract negotiations require reliable information on publication cost data. The openCost project supports this by creating a technical infrastructure that enables the exchange of publication cost data via standardized formats and interfaces. [...]

Diamond Open Access is often perceived as a particularly fair and cost-efficient mode of scholarly publishing - free of article processing charges and therefore seemingly “free of charge.” However, Diamond Open Access publications also entail costs, which are covered through a variety of funding models. In the presentation, we look at this topic form the perspective of the DFG-funded project Servicestelle Diamond Open Access (SeDOA), the German Diamond Capacity Centre. [...]

This contribution discusses JQuant, a Diamond Open Access journal in quantum science that is currently under development, as an early and non-exhaustive case for examining ex-ante approaches to cost estimation and modelling in non-APC-based scholarly publishing. The analysis is grounded in projected workflows and preliminary cost assumptions and reflects an ongoing design process rather than an established operational model.JQuant is being developed as a community-governed Diamond Open Access journal and aims to establish a sustainable framework for open-access publishing in quantum science.
