• On March 2022 the editor of IxD&A (ASLERD) became a member of Crossref and allowed IxD&A to assign DOIs to the journal, to the issues, and to the published papers. The deposit of DOIs started with issue N.50 has been back-extended to all the previously published issues. We are currently deposit also the reference lists to be compliant with I4OC (Initiative for OpenCitations)

• On the occasion of the Meet the Authors events and the integration of videos in the IxD&A website the journal took another step into the future and started to issue blockchain-anchored e-certificates for the authors and the guest editors that take part in the video preparation aimed at presenting the issue and the single papers.

Open access

IxD&A implements the Gold Open Access (OA) road to its contents with no charge to the authors (submission & paper processing) and implements a veritable ‘place’ (in contrast to the largely diffused ‘electronic no places’) and community trying to balance the sense of belonging to a community and promotion of the individuals.

Authors’ shared responsibility and participation

Starting with issue No. 68 (2026), in order to encourage a sense of shared responsibility and participation, authors of articles accepted for publication will be asked to:
a) make a mandatory donation with NO LOWER LIMIT
b) be available, if requested, to review at least one paper in the year following the publication of their article on IxD&A Journal.

In any case

since scientific editors and all colleagues who voluntarily contribute to the editorial process are constantly striving to improve it and, at the same time, to align with international standards, as well as to consistently increase the quality of the published content and preserve the fairness, speed and rigour of the reviewing process; and since all this has also production costs, we do really appreciate if all you can help to keep alive a bastion of freedom – such as IxD&A – in a publishing world dominated by publishing majors and populated by predatory journals with the aim to maintain a Gold Open Access (OA) road for all and avoid the use of advertising.
Any small donation will be very much appreciated.
Donations are collected through the publisher, a non-profit scientific association ASLERD. Information about funds collected and their usage will be published periodically on this website.
Thank you in advance for for supporting IxD&A: your journal and your community.
