About Aperture Papers
About & Editorial Board
Aperture Papers is an independent open-access publisher in its founding phase. Our editorial board is responsible for upholding peer-review integrity, publication ethics, and editorial standards across every journal we launch.
Our Mission
Publishing that supports every researcher.
We are building a publishing platform that pairs rigorous double-blind peer review with an open, low-friction route to publication. Our priority during the founding period is to support researchers — including early-career scholars and authors from institutions without large publication budgets — with a transparent editorial process and a 50% waiver on Article Processing Charges for every manuscript accepted before December 2026.
