Concept information

PREFERRED TERM

Diamond open access  

DEFINITION(S)

  • Model of open access publishing that publishes research outputs without charging obligatory fees to readers and authors, and irrespective of authors' affiliation or funding.

SYNONYM(S)

  • Diamond OA

NOTE

  • DIAMAS D2.1 IPSP Scoping Report. https://zenodo.org/records/10406373

SCOPE NOTE(S)

  • There are various borderline cases where one could argue that although no processing charges are levied, these do not fully operate in the spirit of diamond OA: 1. new journals for which publishers waive the fees in the beginning of their existence; 2. publications that are restricted to authors/grantees of the publishing institution, like ORE or the book programmes of some university presses; 3. publications using the S2O funding model; 4. publications that levy publication fees other than processing charges, such as page, colour, submission or licence fees. The definition proposed here, restricting to ‘obligatory fees’, includes open access for which voluntary fees are asked and accepted.
