Webinar “Good Practice in Action: A Toolkit for Diamond OA Journals”

We invite you to take part in a webinar in which Milica Ševkušić, Head of the Open Access Programme at EIFL (Electronic Information for Libraries), will present the publication “Good Practice in Action: A Toolkit for Diamond OA Journals”. It comprises three interrelated resources designed to help journal editors, publishers and managers enhance the quality, transparency and visibility of their publications. The toolkit is also useful for institutions seeking to evaluate the academic journals they publish or support.

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.

Date and time: Thursday, 8 October at 12:00 PM
