Public funding, logistical support, and individual donations allow Encounters in translation to adopt a sustainable approach to editing and publishing and to break away from the increased commodification of academic work in the publishing industry, the outsourcing of production services, and the redirection of the costs of production to authors who wish to publish open access. Encounters in translation thus aims to make a critical contribution to the ecosystem of open science and open access, both of which are championed by a number of key institutions such as the CNRS, l’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), France 2030, and the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research, among others.
