SciPost [1] is a by-and-for scientists initiative aiming to provide a Genuine Open Access [2] replacement infrastructure for the scientific publishing industry. Its journals are characterized by being open access for both readers (no subscription or reading fees) as well as authors (no author fees/APCs), giving generous licenses (CC-BY) with copyright to the authors. All editorial work is performed by active professional scientists, without competing financial or corporate interest. As an organization, SciPost is purely not-for-profit and community-owned, and follows a cost-slashing consortial business model.

This talk will outline the initiatives main aspects (with emphasis on its open peer-witnessed refereeing protocol), current status, and upcoming expansion plans, in view of recent developments in policy and business.
