Diamond Open Access in the Spotlight

Diamond Open Access refers to scholarly publications that are openly available at no fee for authors or readers. It also means that the publication channel is a non-profit and scholar-led organisation.

We collaborate to promote open access to research publications and build a sustainable ecosystem in the Nordic region.

To further underpin the importance of communicated research results there are some guidelines available to guide readers and authors towards an environment described as trustworthy and reliable.
