Join the webinar with Milica Ševkušić of the EIFL Open Access Programme introducing the Good Practice in Action: A Toolkit for Diamond OA Journals, a set of three complementary resources designed to help journal editors, managers and publishers to strengthen the quality, transparency and visibility of their journals. It can also be used by institutions wanting to assess journals that they publish or support. 

Date and time: Thursday, 8 October at 9:00 UTC (Convert to your timezone)

The toolkit includes three resources:

• Quality in Diamond Open Access Publishing: guidelines, policies and templates provides guidance on essential elements of Diamond OA journals, ready-to-use templates for journal policies and other documents, and technical recommendations covering journal websites, article landing pages, licensing and accessibility. 
• Auditing Framework for Diamond Open Access Journals is a spreadsheet-based tool guiding the assessment of journal websites and publishing practices. Journals can use the framework for self-assessment, while institutions and publishing units can use it to audit journals they publish or support.
• Let's Do It Right: Fixing Common Issues in Diamond Open Access Journals helps editorial and technical teams identify and resolve problems that can affect journal transparency, discoverability and eligibility for inclusion in indexing services and directories.

The toolkit was developed as part of the Collaboration for Sustainable Open Access Publishing in Africa project, funded by the Wellcome Trust. Input from the No-Fee Open Access Publishing in Africa Community of Practice helped ensure that it reflects the needs and experiences of the journals and publishing communities it aims to support. Although developed in the context of Africa, the toolkit can be used by journals and publishing organizations worldwide.
