Description:
On April 13, 2023, the Helmholtz Open Science Office, together with the joint Task Group “Open Access Transformation” of the Working Groups Open Science and Library and Information Management organized a Helmholtz Open Science Forum on Scholar-Led Publishing at Helmholtz. Around 100 people registered for participation. The high level of interest in this event indicates its relevance in the ongoing Open Access-Transformation. Diamond Open Access and scholar-led publishing are current buzzwords in this context; focusing on the stronger localization of scientific publishing opportunities in the scientific environment beyond profit- oriented platforms. The first draft of a position statement on scholar-led publishing at Helmholtz, which was developed together with the Task Group Open Access Transformation, was presented at the forum and participants were invited to discuss and comment on it. Presentations and discussions provided insights into various operating models and workflows of external Diamond Open Access journals, service providers and publication services already active in the natural sciences, as well as those operated by Helmholtz Centers. In addition, the EU Commission's perspectives on the further development of the Open Research Europe publication platform were presented.
