SeDOA: Diamond Open Access bob体育平台官网 Centre
SeDOA establishes a single point of contact for Diamond Open Access, makes existing publication infrastructures more visible and contributes to their optimisation.
SeDOA contributes to increasing the efficiency of Diamond Open Access (DOA) publishing in Germany by supporting the currently decentralised institutions in improving their technical and procedural services and providing central innovations for Diamond Open Access publishing.
SeDOA will deal with both open access journals and open access books. The goals to be achieved in the course of the project start with the establishment of a functioning governance, both for the project and provisionally for its long-term successor. This includes integration into the German communities of practice that deal with Diamond Open Access Publishing, as well as into international networks. SeDOA thus establishes the German Diamond Open Access Capacity Centre, which works closely with the European Diamond Capacity Hub and the Global Diamond Open Access Alliance. SeDOA will provide publishing opportunities at existing DOA sites or via project-specific services, acting both as a service facilitator and service provider. It will provide guidelines and workshops for the community and focus on discipline-specific and international networks. To increase the visibility and quality of metadata, the project will map Diamond Open Access publications in Germany and establish a database-driven registry based on existing databases. In order to invest in the future of Diamond Open Access publishing, the SeDOA project will set up a lab to develop innovative publication models and serve as a sounding board for all relevant DOA stakeholders.
