Hikma meets the Diamond Discovery Hub criteria

This recognition confirms that Hikma operates in accordance with the diamond open access publishing model, grounded in key principles such as free access to content under open licences, the absence of fees for authors, inclusivity for all contributors, and community ownership. It represents an important milestone for the journal and a significant acknowledgement of our ongoing commitment to rigorous, accessible, and community-driven scholarly publishing.

This achievement is also a source of pride for the University of Córdoba and UCOPress, and for the broader academic community that supports and sustains the journal. We extend our sincere thanks to our editorial team, reviewers, authors, and readers for their essential role in the development of Hikma and in advancing high-quality diamond open access publishing.
