Just got off a call with the editor-in-chief of a journal that moved from paywall-based publishing with Cambridge University Press to university-hosted independent publishing under a diamond OA model (no APCs) with PKP/OJS.
TL;DR it's going great.
Submissions are up, quality has been maintained, and now over 50% of papers have one or more Global South-based authors (previously ~10%). @OpenAlex data]
If you, or journals you work with, are publishing in multiple languages in #OpenJournalSystems (OJS), or are interested in learning more, we hope you can join us!
Get found and stay found! Join PKP for a free online webinar February 27, 2024, 9 AM PST to learn about #PIDs & #metadata in #OJS publications. Registration is open!
The book, "Methodology to Assess Science in Digital Diamond Open Access", is here (both Spanish and English in one book)!
Good to see how editorial platforms providing trusted and quality workflow, like PKP's Open Journal Systems, can help improve diamond open access scholarly publishing (page 42).
Congratulations to everyone involved! Get the book:
