National Overviews on Sustaining Institutional Publishing on Europe

The richness of Diamond Open Access (OA) publishing is characterised by its diversity: from the wide-ranging disciplines it serves in multiple languages to the types of organisations and networks involved in developing, running or maintaining it. Local,  regional and national interests driving it are underpinned by the context of the country’s  publishing industry and national political, social, and economic OA priorities, policies, and practices. Understanding the current state and potential future of Diamond OA publishing across the European Research Area is a key goal of the DIAMAS project. This report presents research findings in the early 2024 context of Diamond OA publishing in 10 countries from across the various regions of Europe. 

This report shows how national contexts differ and create unique conditions for Diamond OA publishing in each country.
