Submitted by Krzysztof Janowicz on 10/28/2019 - 16:42

Since its launch in 2009 the Semantic Web journal (SWJ) has been a firm supporter of so called 'green' open access (OA). For SWJ that meant that all journal issues from volume 1, issue 1 onwards were published in accepted manuscript format on the semantic-web-journal.net webpage and are available to anyone, for free. Initially, the official published version of the issues were available only to licensed users at the IOS Press website. From 2020 onwards the journal became a full 'gold' open access journals.

Since introducing paper types for ontologies, datasets, tools, and applications, we have tried to strike the right balance between asking authors to provide evidence for importance, usefulness, relevance, stability, and impact (as these are some of the criteria by which we ask reviewers to rate submissions) on the one hand and readability for a broad target audience on the other hand. Based on our observations with the current setup, we decided to adjust the balance by giving more weight to meeting the interests and needs of our readers.
