Seismica 是一本社区运营的地震学和地震科学钻石开放获取 (OA) 期刊，于 2022 年 7 月开始接受提交。我们创建 Seismica 是为了支持向 OA 出版的转变，同时抵制 OA 作者处理费用的急剧上升以及由此加剧的不平等。 Seismica 由 47 名研究人员组成的全志愿者委员会管理，他们履行传统的编辑职责，并组建职能团队来满足技术设计和支持、文案编辑、媒体和品牌推广的需求，否则这些需求将由营利性期刊的带薪员工来承担。我们得到了麦吉尔大学图书馆（加拿大魁北克省）的支持，该图书馆托管我们的网站并提供其他一些服务，因此 Seismica 没有任何收入或财务支出。我们报告了该期刊的开发过程，并解释了我们如何以及为何做出一些主要政策选择。我们描述了该期刊的组织结构，并讨论了 Seismica 的持续成功和长久发展的未来计划和挑战。
Seismica, a community-run Diamond Open Access (OA) journal for seismology and earthquake science, opened for submissions in July 2022. We created Seismica to support a shift to OA publishing while pushing back against the extreme rise in the cost of OA author processing charges, and the inequities this is compounding. Seismica is run by an all-volunteer Board of 47 researchers who fulfil traditional editorial roles as well as forming functional teams to address the needs for technical design and support, copy editing, media and branding that would otherwise be covered by paid staff at a for-profit journal. We are supported by the McGill University Library (Québec, Canada), who host our website and provide several other services, so that Seismica does not have any income or financial expenditures. We report the process of developing the journal and explain how and why we made some of the major policy choices. We describe the organizational structure of the journal, and discuss future plans and challenges for the continued success and longevity of Seismica.
