How can editorial teams boost the visibility and reach of their open access journals? Scholastica outlines four concrete steps to help increase journal impact

This is the first newsletter edition of the Diamond Open Access Expertise Center.

The DIAMAS project has created a collection of more than 10 resources on Diamond OA aimed at guiding, instructing and inspiring diamond open access publishers, service providers and funders. The resources are especially useful in supporting the sustainability of institutional publishing. 

This short guide helps journal teams align their editorial and publishing practices with the Diamond Open Access Standard (DOAS). It outlines key quality and transparency criteria and supports journals in meeting requirements for directories like DOAJ. 

The Diamond Discovery Hub will be a comprehensive directory of Diamond Open Access Journals across Europe. The journals presented in the directory are curated by an editorial team to ensure that they meet the six operational criteria: persistent identifier, scholarly journal, Open Access, no fees, open to all authors and community-owned.

The European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH) provides six services to Diamond OA Publishers and Providers that range from online trainings to resources, guidelines, self-assessment tools.

This guide has been written for all journal editors (in the Netherlands and beyond) who are uncomfortable with commercial publishers' hold on their journals and would like to transition to a Diamond Open Access publication model. 

You can use this tool if you are Diamond OA publisher or a Diamond OA service provider, to help you gain insights into the financial health of your services, and to help you plan for a more sustainable future.
