[IP-OA_Forum] Reminder - Nov 5 - Diamond OA communities-of-practice in action: Wayfinders #6 webinar

[Bernie Folan <bernie.folan@oaspa.org>]

A reminder of this Wednesday's webinar Diamond OA communities-of-practice in action

Wednesday 5 November 2025 : 9am GMT / 10am Lagos / 2.30pm New Delhi / 5pm Beijing / 7pm Brisbane Time Convertor

 

In this session - the term diamond open access means various things to different stakeholders, but at its core sit principles of zero researcher-facing fees and direct ownership/governance by scholars.
Many feel that not charging fees is the most inclusive form of open access. Many feel that this economically precarious way of publishing is hard - and perhaps even impossible to sustain.

This session will dispel myths and explore the many facets and features of diamond open access via inputs from those actively coordinating communities at the frontline of this approach. 

Full details are available in our latest post.
