NISO Open Access Business Processes (OABP) Working Group Recommended Practice - Public consultation open

Hi everyone,

The NISO Open Access Business Processes (OABP) Working Group has put together a ‘Recommended Practice’ document which is now open for public consultation (closing 17th October). The recommended practice applies to various OA models and so does not relate specifically to Diamond OA, but covers topics that are relevant to all OA publishing, including Diamond, e.g. the use of persistent identifiers (PIDs), the provision of funding metadata, accessibility of publisher policy information, etc.

Further info here (https://www.niso.org/standards-committees/oabp) and below.

”You may access the draft document, add a comment, and view comments received, which will be considered by the Working Group prior to final publication.”

Thank you Danny. I find the labelling of Diamond OA as “sponsored” and the description of it in Annex A particularly questionnable. I added a comment on this.
