72. Helmholtz Open Science Online Seminar

Hintergrund

Diamond open access refers to publishing models in which neither reading nor publishing fees are charged. Diamond open access also places the question of the autonomy of science in the spotlight: the aspiration and the goal that publishing and the publication outlets are in the hands of the scientific community.

The 72nd Helmholtz Open Science Online Seminar ’Putting Publishing Back into the Hands of the Scientific Community – Diamond Open Access at Helmholtz and Beyond’, held on 7 May 2026, explored how science-led, open access journal publishing is practiced at Helmholtz and beyond: What does it take to publish a diamond open access journal? What are existing and emerging services and infrastructures on an institutional, national and international level? The event showcased concrete examples and current developments: the experience of an editor for a community-driven geoscience journal who is a Helmholtz researcher and scientific executive director, a scholar-led journal published at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany’s national service point for diamond open access (SeDOA), and the expansion of Open Research Europe as a European publishing platform to be hosted at CERN from late 2026 on.
