Diamond Discovery Hub Increasing the quality, visibility and recognition of Diamond Open Access Journals
Duration: 36 Months Starting Date: January 2023 Horizon Europe Funding Budget: 5m Consortium: 23 institutions from 14 European countries
CRAFT-OA, specific objectives Sister project of: CRAFT-OA
Whats the Diamond Discovery Hub (DDH)? 1 A set of operational criteria: how can we define diamond in a practical way? 2 An ingestion process: the DDH is meant to collect and curate, no create. 3 A group of trusted sources: operators that check part of or all the criteria. 4 An editorial team: persons curating the metadata received. 5 A workflow: well, simply the articulation of what s above. 6 A service: available for the users to see and the aggregators to reuse. A list open to all of diamond journals verified against the CRAFT-OA criteria
DDH actors Trusted sources: - - Institutional Publishers and Service Providers (IPSPs) Publishers, publishing platforms, directories Editorial team: - - Checking the Diamond criteria metadata Supporting the trusted sources Dev team: - - Metadata collection Metadata indexing and display
Diamond criteria in CRAFT-OA and DIAMAS 1. Persistent identification (ISSN) 2. Scholarly journal (evaluation process) 3. Open Access with open licenses (article-level metadata) 4. No fees (of any kind) 5. Open to all authors (no affiliation constraints) 6. Community-owned (public or not-for-profit organizations) Full description at: https://www.craft-oa.eu/operational-diamond-oa-criteria-for- journals/ https://zenodo.org/records/12721408
Process 1. Trusted sources sign an agreement with the DDH 2. Verify journals compliance with diamond criteria 3. Provide their data to the DDH (via DDH API or a templated spreadsheet upload) 4. Curate their diamond journals (informing DDH about updates and deletions, reacting to service emails from DDH) 5. Editorial team supports the Trusted sources and validate the ingestion Work in progress: Guidelines for the Diamond criteria checking
Initial data for the first iteration Journal metadata in the 1st iteration of DDH Article metadata in the 2nd iteration Data sources: DOAJ OpenAire Trusted IPSPs: starting from partners of the project DDH application form in preparation for external IPSPs
Mock-ups of the UI List of diamond journals Journal information DDH editor s view (Incl. verification page: checklist with diamond criteria)
Benefits and next steps Increases visibility & discoverability for journals Brings together IPSPs in a network Can foster funding opportunities for supporting Diamond OA journals What s ahead of us: Real testing of the intellectual criteria like community-owned Evaluation of time and workforce necessary Building of the DDH/trusted forces network Sustainability of the service after the project
