At the Academy of Cognitive and Natural Sciences (ACNS), we believe that scientific knowledge should be accessible to all researchers, educators, and learners worldwide\u2014regardless of their financial circumstances or institutional affiliations. Since our founding, we have remained committed to providing completely free<\/strong> access to high-quality academic publishing and scholarly conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Diamond Open Access publishing<\/strong> Free academic conferences<\/strong> Quality assurance<\/strong> The true cost of “free”<\/strong> Growing impact, growing costs<\/strong> Personal commitment reaching limits<\/strong> Every contribution matters – we are grateful for any amount you can give.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s how different donation levels support our mission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n $2<\/strong> – Covers DOI assignment and metadata management for one published article Any amount, whether $5, $50, or $500, directly supports free access to scientific knowledge.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By supporting ACNS, you are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a non-governmental organization, ACNS is committed to full transparency.

We publish peer-reviewed journals<\/a> that are free for both authors and readers, e.g.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Through our ACNS Conference Series<\/a>, we provide low-cost publication services for conference proceedings, making scholarly events more accessible to organizers worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All our journals are indexed in prestigious databases<\/a>, ensuring global visibility and credibility for published research.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhy your support matters?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
While our journals and conferences appear free to users, maintaining this model requires significant resources:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Our journals are gaining recognition worldwide\u2014Science Education Quarterly was recently accepted into DOAJ<\/a>, and Journal of Edge Computing was indexed by Scopus<\/a>, so our publications receive thousands of downloads monthly. This success means increased operational demands and higher costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until now (August 2025), ACNS founders and organizers have personally funded these operations. However, as our impact grows and costs increase, personal resources are no longer sufficient to maintain the high standards our community deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow your donation helps?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
$30<\/strong> – Maintains website infrastructure for one month
$100<\/strong> – Covers annual fees for one journal
$500+<\/strong> – Helps ensure long-term sustainability of all ACNS operations<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhich your impact?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
