The Open Access Diamond Journals Study: Exploring collaborative community-driven publishing models for Open Access

The CSI is pleased to announce the publication of “The Open Access Diamond Journals Study: Exploring collaborative community-driven publishing models for Open Access” in the form of two reports: an in-depth report and then associated recommendations arising from the study of open access journals across the world that are free for readers and authors, usually referred to as “OA diamond journals”.
