#diamond-oa — Public Fediverse posts

Heading to Open-Access-Tage 2026 #OAT26 in Linz, Austria, this week? Did you know that we will be jointly running a workshop on Monday afternoon (28 September, 3–4.30pm) that looks at how we, as the many communities engaged in #Diamond #openaccess, might best support community-governed, not-for-profit infrastructures for OA books and journals?

Come join the wonderful Caroline Ball ( @openbookcollect ), Elena Di Rosa ( @verfassungsblog ), Tom Shaw (Open Journals Collective), Wenxin Shangguan ( @openaccessnetwork ), and our own Toby Steiner ( @flavoursofopen ) for an engaging discussion of

"Collaboration over competition: How can we sustain Diamond OA books and journals through collective funding?"

If you have not yet chosen a workshop, we would be delighted to see you there! #OAT26 #DiamondOA #OpenAccess #OAbooks #ScholarlyCommunication #openinfrastructure 📚

We're building an Impact Dashboard for open books (and journals), together with the Open Journals Collective.

It'll show which institutions' authors and editors publish with OBC member presses, how their books are cited and downloaded, and where in the world they're read. It'll be fully open: no login, open-source code, open API.

First release due before the end of 2026. Early designs and further details:

Ok people. I'll try again to be more active rather than just lurking about!

Also, sign the #diamondOA pledge: https://forrt.org/diamond-reviewer/#join

This is about the easiest thing to sign from my side because I'm hopefully already in the progress to review one (some tech hickups that I need to remind people about) - so that is an easy tick box exercise that can make me feel good about myself 😂

2/ Footnote on the terminology problem.

You've probably heard me say many times that the term "gold OA" original referred to #OpenAccess delivered by #journals, regardless of the journal's business model, as opposed to "green OA", which was delivered by repositories. Hence, gold OA could charge #APCs or not charge APCs. What we now call #DiamondOA was a species of #GoldOA.

But the term has definitely drifted and now most people use it to refer only to APC-based OA and to exclude no-APC or diamond OA. I don't like this drift, and I fought it, in part because it invited misinterpretation of early writings about OA. But I accept the drift because it's a fact of current usage. For more on this drift, see my 2021 Twitter thread.
https://x.com/petersuber/status/1379818546671317002

In its report Springer Nature uses "gold OA" in the new sense, and I use the term in the same sense when discussing the report. Normally, to avoid ambiguity and confusion, I don't use the term at all.
