On Friday, May 13th – the last day of the Spring School on Superstring Theory and Related Topics at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste – the afternoon was dedicated to JHEP (this opens in a new tab):

SISSA Director Andrea Romanino presented an overview of 25 years of JHEP at SISSA, which was complemented by Christian Caron looking back on 12 years of the Springer/JHEP collaboration and especially the negotiation, implementation and continuation of SCOAP3 open access funding.

JHEP Editor Matthias Gaberdiel from the ETH Zürich Switzerland spoke about the role of JHEP editors – all experts in the areas covered by JHEP – who take full responsibility for the peer-reviewing including the final decision to accept or reject an article.

Lastly, the students had the chance to ask questions about the journal in particular and related scientific publishing in general.

Following the presentations, the JHEP Birthday Aperitivo was served at the Adriaco Yacht Club at the Trieste marina.
