Work package description

The goal of WP2 was to map IPSPs in a wide and comprehensive selection of countries of the ERA, primarily for publishing outputs requiring no fees for publishing (Diamond OA). Journals and outputs using other business models was also mapped. We also investigated how and to what extent IPSPs made use of non-institutional or commercial service providers. A comprehensive data set for the other WPs, was created. A subset of this was made publicly available.

Deliverables

D2.1 IPSP scoping report

Deadline: November 30, 2022; delivered: November 30, 2022

The IPSP scoping report was a necessary stepping-stone towards defining the scope of the rest of the work of WP2. We created and defined a common glossary for use in the rest of the work, including other WPs. We defined typologies for IPSPs, funding and output, and we defined the geographical area of the WP’s work. The scoping report is available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.7890567

D2.2 IPSP Database v1.0

Deadline: August 23, 2023; delivered: August 23, 2023

This form is the basis for the IPSP registry that is a delivery of WP4. As WP2 collected such data, delivering this dataset was a requirement. It is an internal delivery, but has been made available on Zenodo. The D2.2 IPSP Database is available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.8296708 The D2.2 IPSP Database documentation is available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.1040601

D2.3 Landscape report

Deadline: November 30, 2023; delivered: November 30, 2023

Delivering this report was the objective of the WP2. The following documents are a basis for further work in DIAMAS, from WP3 to WP6. It was delivered as a set of documents:

• D2.3 Final IPSP landscape Report: Institutional Publishing in the ERA: Results from the DIAMAS survey is the full-length report of 237 pages, including short country reports. It is available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.10022184
• Institutional publishing in the ERA: Full country reports is a supplement to D2.3, containing longer country reports for some of the countries surveyed. It is available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.10026206
• DIAMAS Survey Questionnaire and Glossary contains the questions asked by the respondents, and the explanations given to some of the important terms used in the survey. It is available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.10207447

On January 28, 2024 we released a other set of documents, intended for a larger audience:

• The European landscape of institutional publishing – A synopsis of results from the DIAMAS survey is a very shortened version of theD2.3 Final IPSP landscape Report: Institutional Publishing in the ERA: Results from the DIAMAS survey. It is available on Zenodo: 10.5281/zenodo.10551710
