DIAMAS launches an open call to identify reference materials

As part of its scope to support Open Access Diamond and institutional publishing, DIAMAS is launching a community call!

We are looking for resources such as guidelines, best practices, training materials, toolkits, and documentation which address Journal funding; Ownership and governance; Open Science practices; Editorial quality, management and research integrity; Technical service efficiency; Visibility; and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).

This information will be used to create a registry of reference materials that will be made freely available for further use. By identifying resources for the DIAMAS registry you will become part of a community that helps to improve the efficiency and quality of institutional publishing.

Please use the online documentation form to identify resources – this should only take 10 minutes. More details can be found below:
