0:45.5	This is a science podcast for December 6, 2024. I'm Sarah Crespi. First up this week, freelance science writer Sophia Motino joins me to discuss making open-access journals, based in Latin America, visible to the rest of the world.
1:00.2	Next on the show, departing physical sciences editor Brett Krahulski discusses highlights from his career at science, particularly his work on the fast-growing area of cooling technologies.
1:15.5	Now we have Sophia Motino, a freelance science writer based in Brazil. This week in science,
1:21.0	she wrote about how open access databases in Latin America are helping local journals
1:26.0	keep science local while also reaching international audiences.
1:30.3	Hi, Sophia. Welcome back to the science podcast. Hi, Sarah. It's very good to be back here.
1:35.3	Yeah, right. So not only are these platforms promoting local science, but they are open access.
1:41.0	A lot of them are what you call the diamond model. Can you explain what that is?
1:45.8	Yes, the diamond model, I think that putting it simply is basically a journal that doesn't charge
1:51.4	authors to publish and doesn't charge readers to read as well. So it's totally free. There are no
1:58.2	fees involved. So someone who might have trouble, you know, getting grants
