Excellent move! And since these journals are community-owned, they would pass the Diamond OA test of the Diamond Discovery Hub at the European Diamond Capacity Hub as long as library participation holds @eudch.bsky.social

The latest from #UKSGInsights - "Open infrastructures in conflict zones: a case study of @doaj.bsky.social and Ukrainian journals" (Authors: @ozimba.bsky.social, @katrinesundsbo.bsky.social, Natalia Laiuzhna and Iemima Ploscaru) dub.sh/rVBTHTI

This case study explores the role of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in increasing the visibility and accessibility of Ukrainian academic journals. Ukrainian journals face numerous challenges due to economic constraints and the ongoing war. The article presents how open infrastructures play an important role in supporting journals during conflict, invasion or major disruption, using DOAJ as a case study. It analyzes what has worked and what could have been improved in DOAJ’s approach, including its collaborative efforts with the Supporting Ukrainian Editorial Staff (SUES) project, the Open Ukrainian Citation Index (OUCI) and Research4Life as initiatives to increase the visibility, transparency and impact of all digitized Ukrainian academic journals, despite the ongoing war with Russia. Recommendations are presented to increase the quality and visibility of Ukrainian journals and to guide open infrastructures in supporting journals from conflict areas.

Many inspiring thoughts today at the DIAMAS final conference. Lots to do within @eudch.bsky.social and the Nordic Capacity Centre. One great output is these practical recommendations. Something that can be used when meeting stakeholders on a national and regional level zenodo.org/records/1551...

The latest from #UKSGInsights: Pierre Mounier and Johan Rooryck "Federating diamond OA in Europe and beyond: the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH)" dub.sh/hpNatCZ

This case study presents the context, governance and operations of the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH) launched in January 2025. The EDCH will coordinate diamond open access (OA) capacity centres in Europe and consolidate and align the diamond OA organizations that provide services and tools to diamond OA outputs in Europe. In this way, it will provide the backbone for a scholarly communication infrastructure that is owned and operated by the academic community without charges for authors and readers.
