Editorial work & Open Science #

I am a managing editor of the journal Advances in Combinatorics since 2022, and an editor of the journal Innovations in Graph Theory since its inception in 2023 (I am in charge of the interactions between the editorial board and the publisher, Centre Mersenne). Between 2015 and 2023, I was an editor of the journal Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science. These are three “diamond” open access journals (free for authors and readers, with no hidden APC paid by your employer on your behalf). I hope more journals and conference proceedings will follow this publishing model in the future (note: CNRS and INRIA ask their researchers not to pay any APC and encourage them to submit their papers to diamond OA journals instead, see here (in French). See also here for an article analyzing the rise of the cost of APC paid by French institutions). You can visit the Free Journal Network for a list of journals running according to the Fair Open Access model. Sometimes I find it difficult to avoid submitting papers to subscription-based commercial publishers, but in any case free versions of all my papers are available on arXiv or/and on this webpage.
