As a newly established academic publisher, we greatly appreciate your support. Thank you in advance for your help in building a fairer, more open scholarly future.

You can support us in the following various ways

Submit a Manuscript
The most direct way to support us is to submit your own high‑quality research to one of our journals. By choosing Academia Fructus Press as your publication venue, you not only gain a fair, rigorous, and fast peer‑review process, but you also help us grow our content base and demonstrate that a low‑cost, author‑friendly model can succeed. Every accepted manuscript enriches the global open access corpus and encourages other scholars to join our community.

Propose a New Journal
If you see a gap in the current publishing landscape—a niche, an interdisciplinary field, or a region that is underserved—you can propose a brand‑new journal. As the founder or lead editor, you will shape its scope, build its editorial board, and steer its strategic direction. We provide the technical infrastructure, production support, and open access platform. Proposing a new journal is an act of leadership that can create a lasting home for your research community.

Join the Editorial Board 
Experienced researchers can take on a governance role by joining the editorial board of an existing journal. Board members help define journal policies, advise on special issues, promote the journal within their networks, and occasionally handle submissions. This is a visible, respected service that enhances your academic profile while directly shaping the quality and fairness of our publishing practices.

Become a Guest Editor
If you prefer a time‑bound yet high‑impact role, consider becoming a guest editor for a special issue on a hot or emerging topic. You will invite contributions from leading and rising scholars, manage the peer review process (with our full administrative support), and write an introductory editorial. Guest editing is a fantastic way to curate a collection that becomes a key reference in your field—and you receive a discount on your own future publications with us.

Become a Reviewer
Peer review is the cornerstone of scholarly quality. By joining our reviewer pool, you will receive regular manuscript invitations in your area of expertise. You can choose to review as often or as rarely as your schedule permits. We are committed to making the review experience constructive and respectful—no endless delays, no rude decision letters. Your work as a reviewer will be acknowledged via ORCID (if you wish) and will directly improve the reliability of published science.

Make a Donation
Even if you cannot actively participate in publishing or editing, you can still support our mission through a financial donation. Every contribution—whether a one‑time gift or a recurring monthly donation—goes directly towards our scholar assistance programmes: fee waivers for low‑income authors, grants for early‑career researchers, and community outreach initiatives. Because we are a low‑profit press, your donation has a measurable, transparent impact. You will receive a receipt and our lasting gratitude.

No matter which path you choose, your engagement helps us redefine academic publishing for the better. Thank you for standing with us. Together, we can turn the tide against excessive profits and build a truly equitable knowledge ecosystem.
