Help us get to know the open access journals and platforms that are free for readers and authors | Plan S

We are pleased to invite you to fill in a survey dedicated to gaining in-depth understanding of open access journals that don’t charge author-fees, often known as the “diamond model”; journals that are free to both readers and authors. In addition, we are launching a crowdsourcing effort to list diamond journals not yet covered in major databases like DOAJ. 

This survey is part of the Diamond Open Access Study commissioned by cOAlition S and intends to explore and deepen our understanding of collaborative non-commercial publishing models for Open Access.

We need to assess the depth and breadth of open access diamond offerings across the globe, and we need to make the case for this kind of open access if we are to gain stronger support from funders.

The survey will be open until the 25th of August 2020
