Technology Education, celebrating the end of our 5th year of publishing articles in science, math, and technology education research.We would like to start this edition with sincere thanks to all the members of our editorial board for their volunteer work on our behalf. Through their efforts, our 5th volume included a record-breaking number of articles and our first Special Edition.Articles in the 5th volume included topics in math, statistics, biology, chemistry, and integrated STEM education research, took place in both formal and informal education settings, and investigated primary, secondary, undergraduate, and graduate level education. Authors included residents of six countries on three continents.As always, these articles are free to all readers, with no subscription fees or paywall, carrying no charge to institutions or libraries, with no article processing charge to authors. Thus, JRSMTE is a Diamond open access journal. Diamond,or Platinum, open access journals are not-for-profit/non-commercial organizations, which make all their materials immediately available online at no charge to readers or authors (Fuchs and Sandoval, 2013.) The Diamond open access model contrasts with the "pay-to-publish" Gold model of open access, in which the journal provides non-subscription free reading online but requires that authors pay article processing charges (APCs) (Meagher, 2021.) The most prestigious open access academic journals are generally Gold open access journals, or offer a hybrid approach, in which authors may elect to publish their work open access if they pay an APC.There are two major problems that arise from the Gold open access model. First, APCs can be quite expensive, up to several thousand US dollars for a single article. Thus, while the Gold model provides greater access to publications for all, it creates financial hurdles to publication. This disadvantages researchers working in the Global South, those working in lower-funded disciplines, and those at institutions with lower research budgets (Meagher, 2021;Knöchelmann, 2021). Knöchelmann notes that Gold open access imposes "epistemic injustice" in academic scholarship: dominant European and North American research voices allow free consumption of their scholarly discourse by outside scholars, but disallow the active participation of outside voices in the construction of scholarly discourse through the imposition of APCs (Knöchelmann, 2021
