Diamond Discovery Hub (DDH)
The DDH aims to provide an authoritative list of Diamond Open Access journals in Europe, helping these journals increase their visibility in the academic community and beyond. Diamond Open Access journals included in the Diamond Discovery Hub must fulfil the six operational criteria for Diamond Open Access. They can subsequently work towards meeting the Diamond Open Access Standard quality criteria.
DOAS and its self-assessment tools
The Diamond Open Access Standard (DOAS) is an instrument that helps foster quality assurance in Diamond Open Access publishing. DOAS includes both a practical guide and benchmarking resources for checking quality and sustainability. The DOAS and self-assessment tools allow Diamond Open Access Publishers and Providers to assess their compliance with the seven quality components of DOAS, as well as their financial sustainability.
Publishing Tools
Publishing Tools refers to a set of software tools, add-ons and other technical developments that serve to improve technical efficiency at the level of publishing workflows and platforms. The publishing tools will also furnish the necessary components to ensure seamless interoperability between various publishing software solutions.
Registry & Forum
The Registry and Forum are virtual spaces dedicated to fostering collaboration and networking among Diamond Open Access Community Members. They provide a place where services, tools and technologies can be presented and discussed. All Diamond Open Access Centers, Publishers, and Providers across Europe are invited to join the Registry to become Community Members. The Forum facilitates networking and discussions on topics relevant to the community.
Resources & Guidelines
This is a set of resources that support publishers moving towards Diamond Open Access. They include concise high-level introductions to Diamond Open Access and to the Diamond Open Access Standard as well as guidelines and good practices for journal publishing.

Training Platform
