About WEACADEMIC
Embedded Files
WEACADEMIC is a non-profit, open-access publisher based in Taipei, Taiwan. We were founded with a single belief knowledge should be free, fair, and accessible to everyone regardless of institution, geography, or financial means. As such, WEACADEMIC designed to bridge these fields, fostering research across traditional boundaries. Our name reflects our core philosophy: "we" as in collective inquiry, and "academic" as in rigorous, evidence-based contribution to knowledge.
Our Values
Our Values
WEACADEMIC is a non profit Publisher. Every revenue we receive from article processing charges (APC), publication fees, or conference registration is reinvested directly into our operations:
Editorial and peer review management;
Copyediting and typesetting;
Digital archiving and long-term preservation;
Platform maintenance and security;
Outreach and author support services.
No profits are distributed to owners, shareholders, or executives. Our only bottom line is impact, not income.
Open Access Commitment

Freely available online immediately upon publication
Free to read, download, copy, distribute, and print
Free to share with colleagues, students, and the public
We keep our APC deliberately low because we believe cost should never be the main barrier to publishing good research.
We believe research funded by public money or produced by public institutions should be available to the public. Open access is not just a policy it is a principle.
