Dear authors, reviewers, readers, and members of the community,

We are pleased to announce excellent news that reinforces our journal’s commitment to high-quality, barrier-free open access: following the thorough evaluation conducted by the Fundación Española para la Ciencia y la Tecnología (FECYT), in its capacity as a trusted source of the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH), Clío. History and History Teaching has been officially incorporated into the Diamond Discovery Hub (DDH).

The DDH is the leading European platform that identifies, verifies, and enhances the visibility of journals operating under the Diamond Open Access model (with no publication fees for authors or readers) and that meet six fundamental criteria of quality and transparency:

  1. Persistent identification (DOI or other permanent identifiers)
  2. Academic and scholarly nature of the journal
  3. Open access with open licences (permitting reuse)
  4. Complete absence of fees (APCs) for both authors and readers
  5. Openness to all authors without restrictions
  6. Community governance and ownership (non-profit and independent editorial control)

This indexing constitutes official recognition of our editorial practices, which are aligned with the highest European standards of equity, sustainability, and transparency in scholarly communication. Inclusion in the DDH significantly enhances the journal’s international visibility and prestige, facilitates its discovery by researchers across Europe, and contributes to strengthening the Diamond Open Access ecosystem actively promoted by initiatives such as the EDCH.

You may consult the journal’s entry directly on the platform: https://ddh.edch.eu/en/journals/23598

We express our deep gratitude to the entire editorial team, authors, reviewers, and readers whose efforts make possible this model of open, free, and high-quality academic publishing. We shall continue working to maintain and improve these standards, and to explore the resources provided by the EDCH to advance towards the Diamond OA Standard (DOAS).

Thank you for being part of this journal and for supporting a fairer and more accessible model of open science for all!
