ESTS is the Open Access journal of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). All its operational expenses are supported by 4S.

The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) is a nonprofit professional association founded in 1975 to engage and connect those interested in understanding the ways in which science, technology, and medicine function and manifest in relation to their social contexts. 4S has a broad and growing membership and holds a widely attended academic conference annually.

Since 2023 and for the next five years, ESTS is also supported through the Open Access Community Investment Program (OACIP) hosted by Lyrasis. Pledges for financial support to the journal are still open: interested research libraries, university institutions, and individuals can contribute to the OACIP campaign here.
