Centering social justice in scholarly communication to advance research as a public good

8 – 14 December 2024, Cape Town, South Africa

Welcome

The purpose of the Global Summit on Diamond Open Access is to bring the diamond open access community and potential communities together in a dialogue between journal editors, organisations, experts, and stakeholders from around the globe.

The envisaged outcome of this dialogue is the consolidation and growth of diamond open access as a pathway for inclusive and equitable participation in the scholarly publishing ecosystem. The premise is that discoverable and accessible scholarly content is critical for the growth of research with the domino effect of making such research accessible to ALL; hence, the alignment with public good principles.
