DIAMAS is a Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action project which aims to explore and promote diamond publishing as a valued and quality publication venue.
DIAMAS is working on advice and guidance on how to build appropriate diamond publishing activities demonstrating the robustness and quality process included in Diamond Publishing (see the Diamond Open Access Standard). GraspOS, and particularly the Open Science Assessment Framework (OSAF), could benefit from learning from colleagues on how Diamond publishing is developing to include elements in our recommendations/guidelines. Through this process we can further raise the profile of diamond publishing.
Mutual benefits
Learning from DIAMAS how to engage with diamond publishing can inform aspects of GraspOS such as the OSAF or the Infrastructure to be embedded in research assessment exercises in the future.
DIAMAS can benefit from the expertise found in GraspOS to discuss challenges and opportunities in considering Diamond publishing as part of research assessment exercises.
This collaboration is expected to yield the following outcomes:
- Exchange knowledge and understanding on the specificities of Diamond Publishing and how it can be embedded in responsible research assessment practices through GraspOS Infrastructure.
- Provide public recommendations.
