Webinar with CRAFT-OA: Shaping Diamond Open Access

DIAMAS and CRAFT-OA invite you to join a webinar on 16.05.24 on Shaping Diamond OA: Criteria for Jorunals. Sign up for free here. 

What criteria make a journal a Diamond Open Access (OA) journal? This 90-minute webinar, jointly hosted by CRAFT-OA, will shed light on the requirements that define Diamond OA journals by engaging with their community.

An operational definition of Diamond OA drafted by both projects is at the forefront of the discussion. A clear concept and definition of Diamond OA is crucial to facilitate the discovery and accessibility of Diamond OA journals. The webinar will contextualise the need for operational Diamond OA criteria within the development of the Diamond Discovery Hub, a comprehensive registry of institutionally published and scholar-led Open Access Journals in Europe aiming to enhance the visibility, recognisability and discoverability of Diamond OA journals, and the European Diamond Capacity Hub, being developed to align, coordinate, and improve the sustainability of Diamond OA.

The webinar serves as a platform for stakeholders to participate in shaping these criteria for Diamond OA classification. Through a community consultation participants can contribute to refining the criteria and ensuring their relevance and applicability across diverse scholarly disciplines and geographical regions.

The Diamond Open Access Standard (DOAS) sets essential and testable criteria to ensure equitable, transparent, and high-quality scholarly publishing. It advocates for a transparent publishing model governed by the academic community. This video gives an overview of a key component of DOAS: the Self-Assessment Tool for Diamond OA. It explains how the tool works from a practical standpoint and how it equips institutions with resources to assess compliance and enhance publishing practices, facilitating progress towards Diamond OA-level publishing standards.

WEBINAR: Navigating Europe’s Institutional Publishing Landscape (07.02.24)
(Recorded 20/06/23) Three projects. Over 40 partners. One goal: Community-led Open Scholarly Publishing. EU projects CRAFT-OA, DIAMAS, and PALOMERA are working for an equitable future for scholarly communication, with academic communities at the centre. In the webinar, participants were introduced to each project and their individual aims. Following this, discussion focused on how, despite their separate focus areas, their efforts work towards a broad and common vision for a more open and equitable scholarly publishing ecosystem. CRAFT-OA empowers regional journal platforms and publishing service providers to upscale, professionalise, and reach stronger interoperability with other scientific information systems, by providing services and tools. The DIAMAS project is developing common standards, guidelines and practices to build capacity for the Diamond publishing sector. Formulating recommendations of this kind aims to create a more sustainable future for OA Diamond Publishing in Europe. PALOMERA has set out to provide actionable recommendations and concrete resources to support and coordinate aligned funder and institutional policies for Open Access books. Doing so involves assessing challenges and bottlenecks that currently slow the widespread implementation of OA book policy. Slides available on Zenodo: https://zenodo.org/record/8070435
