The third webinar in the DIAMAS Conversation Series for Libraries will focus on the DIAMAS Toolsuite and Guidelines – a set of tools and resources to support Diamond Open Access (ΟΑ) and the Diamond Open Access Standard (DOAS).

Launched in October 2024, the DIAMAS Toolsuite includes a set of high-level articles, in-depth guidelines and links to self-assessment tools, training materials and other resources. The Guidelines offer detailed instructions and practical guidance to assist Diamond OA publishers in meeting the standards outlined in the DOAS. The introductory presentations will be followed by a discussion on how libraries can use the DIAMAS Toolsuite and Guidelines to support publishing activities and enrich existing toolkits and guides for Diamond OA publishing.

• Date and time: 24 January 2025, 11am - 12.30pm CET.
• Registration: You can register here.

Diamond OA is a scholarly publication model in which journals and platforms do not charge fees to either authors or readers. Libraries are vital pillars of the Diamond OA ecosystem, providing infrastructure, services, and expert support to institutional publishers. Many libraries are also publishers in their own right. EIFL is a partner in the DIAMAS project.
