Wir haben ein (nicht mehr ganz) neues Logo! 🥳
Die Anzahl der Punkte entspricht übrigens der Anzahl der Einrichtungen in unserem Projekt.
Wir haben es schon seit Ende letzten Jahres, der Post dazu ging leider mit dem Serverumzug verloren, weswegen wir hier noch einmal ganz stolz darauf hinweisen.
We are super excited to announce the publication of our substantive report "International Metadata Recommendations and Platform-Specific Requirements for #OABooks and Chapters"
The report addresses a longstanding challenge in #OAbooks publishing: how to create, manage, and disseminate metadata that actually works across today’s fragmented scholarly ecosystem. #MetadataMatters
Bringing together multiple perspectives of not-for-profit #DiamondOA book publishers, librarians, and open infrastructures, the report takes a closer look at research, policy analysis, and community insight to support publishers, libraries, and aggregators working to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and sustainability of books and chapters – with a particular focus on small-to-medium-sized, scholar-led and institutional publishers.
#DiamondOpenAccess publishing at @TIBopenpub in #2025 included: two new journals, 10 new conference proceedings and about 350 articles. Many thanks to everyone involved!

💎 "Research [...] is not and cannot be confined by national boundaries. The free exchange of knowledge envisioned from the beginning of the OA movement was always meant to be international. So, while support for #diamondoa publishing may begin within a single nation, it should not end there."
👉YES! Funding for Diamond OA needs to become more international.

Diethard Tautz and Paul Rainey propose criteria for journal quality entirely apart from citation impact and reputation. While you think over their proposal, don't overlook their case for some of the ways we'd benefit from having good criteria (no matter who first proposed them):
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1038/s44319-025-00649-5
1. They could help us assess the justification for "public payments for journal services, such as #OpenAccess fees" or #APCs.
2. They could help "immunize against the predatory and fraudulent practices that are currently threatening the scientific publication system."
3. They could help funders "finance journals according to the Diamond open-access [#DiamondOA] standards as a basic infrastructure for science."

🔗 Abstract: https://doi.org/10.7557/5.8331
Oxford and Harvard libraries now publishing their own diamond open access journals. Love it. ❤️
Paying hundreds of millions to big commercial publishers isn't the only way of supporting researchers to publish their research.

💎 Diamond Open Access promises publishing without fees or paywalls. But: vague definition, hidden costs, unpaid labor & legal risks. Without prestige, DOA journals risk being ignored. Too good to be true?
