Summary:
English from Google Translate: In this blog post, we comment from the perspective of the Task Force on Financing of the Service Point Diamond Open Access (SeDOA) the concept Germany Fund for Diamond Open Access (DeFDOA), in which SeDOA is explicitly mentioned and intended for certain tasks. We will not go into all the details at this point, but rather on some points that we consider to be particularly important. The article does not represent an official statement of the project on DeFDOA. The concept of DeFDOA was originally developed by Bernhard Mittermaier and is being discussed in various contexts, including in the Task Force "Establishment of Science-Led Open Access Infrastructures" in the focus area "Digitality in science" of the Alliance of Science Organisations. SeDOA is involved in these discussions and contributes its statements there.
