The campaign may be ending, but the work continues. The DIAMAS recommendations remain a practical guide for strengthening sustainable, inclusive, and high-quality Diamond OA. Let’s keep sharing them, discussing them, and — most importantly — putting them into practice.

📃 AI policies in #ScholarlyPublishing A new AI policy from the @openlibhums.org has sparked discussion in the EDCH Forum, from AI disclosure and editorial integrity to fabricated references and the limits of current tools. 🔗 Join the discussion & Forum: bit.ly/3Z0uKVE #DiamondOA
