Description
This report outlines the development of the Institutional Publisher Service Providers
(IPSP) Guidelines, a deliverable of DIAMAS Task 4.3. The guidelines build on existing
resources and previous outputs from the DIAMAS and CRAFT-OA projects, and aim to
provide comprehensive instructions to help IPSPs meet current standards for Diamond
Open Access (OA) publishing, as defined in the Diamond OA Standard (DOAS) (Consortium
of the DIAMAS Project, 2024).
Following an extensive analysis of resources, 18 thematic areas were identified, based
on their relevance across diverse publishing practices and challenges as well as their
potential to enhance the credibility, efficiency, and capacity of IPSPs. These topics align
with the seven core components of the DOAS, and correspond to the scope and contents
of the forthcoming IPSP Toolsuite (D4.3).
The guidelines were collaboratively drafted by DIAMAS and CRAFT-OA partners and
reviewed by the Toolsuite Editorial Board. To ensure accessibility for a broader
audience, the guidelines have been translated into Spanish, Portuguese, and Croatian
and will be integrated into the DIAMAS Common Access Point (CAP) as part of the online
IPSP Toolsuite.
The guidelines will be regularly updated with new resources and tools to ensure they
remain current and continue to support best practices in OA publishing.
