https:\/\/www.qoam.eu\/qoam-journal-composition<\/a> you can see that the percentage of articles in Diamond journals with a DOI is down to 7% if you include the articles in hybrid journals. There are two reasons for this: (1) over half of the Diamond journal titles do not give DOI’s to their articles and (2) most articles are (still) published in hybrid journals. Let us suppose that in the situation of universal OA, a mix of 20% Diamond and 80% Gold OA articles would give authors who cannot afford publication costs enough choice to select an adequate publication channel. In that case, there is still a lot of work to do for Diamonds journals\/platforms: an increase in article production and a better adherence to standard operational and technical requirements in scholarly publishing (such as DOI’s per article) will be needed. Can I coin a new term here? The fact that many Diamond journal publishers cannot keep up with the rapidly changing operational and technical publication standards is logical: they publish only 1 or 2 journal titles with a shoestring operation. Therefore I propose the term ‘minimum viable publishing unit’, the minimum operation that is needed to keep up with the publishing standards. I do not know what this minimum viable publishing unit would entail. My guess would be that you will need at least two dozen of staff to keep up with the technological side of publishing. Of one thing you can be assured: the debate on how to design an universal Open Access scholarly journal system will continue, if we ever get there…<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
