peter.suber's bookmarks 2026-09-27
Summary:
"Are you a university, library, research institute, or another similar community based publisher or platform working with Diamond OA books? Then we need your input!
The AEGIS-OA (Activate European Guidance and Incentives for Sustainable Open Access publishing) project is an EU-funded project under the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. It aims to establish a transparent, sustainable, and high-quality open access scholarly publishing ecosystem in Europe by leveraging and expanding the services of the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH).
OA Books are a very important part of the Diamond publishing landscape and within this anonymous survey, we are seeking community feedback on the adaptation of the Diamond Open Access Standard (DOAS)—originally designed for journals—which will now also cover OA books. For those that are not familiar with DOAS, it helps foster quality assurance in Diamond OA publishing, by enabling publishers to assess their compliance with different quality standards.
