The AXIS Charter

Knowledge preserved is not enough. Knowledge must move.

Purpose

AXIS exists to preserve, connect and activate scientific assets beyond traditional publications, supporting sustainable Diamond Open Access through mission-aligned infrastructure.

Principles

• Science deserves infrastructure.
• Scientific identity extends beyond publications.
• Editorial independence must remain separate from financial services.
• Long-term preservation is a scientific responsibility.
• Researchers remain owners of their scientific assets.
• Artificial intelligence should augment scientific work, not replace scientific judgment.

Founding statement

AXIS is built so that scientific knowledge is not only published, but preserved, connected and continuously rediscovered.
