"Publishing in Open Access through the S2O model has been a game-changer for our journal. The transition has not only expanded our readership but also improved the quality of submissions. Authors are more motivated to submit high-quality work, knowing it will reach a broader audience without access barriers. Moreover, making publicly funded research openly accessible aligns with the ethical imperative to share knowledge funded by public resources, thereby enhancing the societal impact of our work and contributing to the advancement of science and knowledge."
