Paying for the Open Journal of Astrophysics Everything is going well at OJAp, but it is not reasonable that the expense of running a journal that serves the global astrophysics community should fall entirely on one small University in Ireland. It won't be sustainable in the long run, either, if we continue to grow at the present rate. TCompare us with the Diamond Open Access publisher SCIPOST, which has a long list of sponsors covering its costs; we have none. I know that money is very tight in astrophysics these days but if you have access to any potential sources of funding - then please consider supporting OJAp!
