    CRAFT-OA deliverable D2.3 "Technical gap analysis and high-level community transition plans"
    (Genève : CERN, 2024) Varachkina, Hanna; Umerle, Tomasz; Arasteh-Roodsary, Sona Lisa; Šterbenc Svetina, Barbara; van Edig, Xenia; Fenner, Jorina; Meinecke, Isabella; Guigonis, Sandra; Stone, Graham; Souplet, Jean-Christophe; Armengou, Clara; Kupreyev, Maxim; Souyioultzoglou, Irakleitos
    CRAFT-OA identified key technical gaps faced by institutional publishing service providers (IPSPs) as well as institutional publishing tools and technology providers (IPTPs). They range from insufficient compliance with technical standards to challenges related to publishing software. The data sources used in this document include deliverables, reports, surveys, and interviews from the CRAFT-OA and DIAMAS projects. In order to address the identified gaps, CRAFT-OA will improve key publishing software, provide toolkits, and resources such as training materials based on the upskilling curriculum. Several proposed solutions (key exploitable results) will be sustained after the end of the project. DIAMAS will prepare guidelines, a tool suite, and further training material. The community transition plan offered in this document will help disseminate the proposed solutions, supporting the Diamond OA publishing community.

    CRAFT-OA Deliverable 3.2: Report on challenges and help measures faced by OA journals and platforms
    (Genève : CERN, 2024) Laakso, Mikael; van Edig, Xenia; Fenner, Jorina; Armengou, Clara; Gingold, Arnaud; Pispiringas, Leonidas; Šterbenc Svetina, Barbara; Byers, Andy; Jertec Musap, Ljiljana; Klaus, Tabea; Lamata Martínez, Ignacio; Nygård, Antti-Jussi; Pölönen, Janne; Rosiński, Cezary; Wołczuk, Nikodem; Waldmann, Theresa
    Initiatives like CRAFT-OA and DIAMAS aim to enhance Open Access Diamond Journals’ (OADJs) capacities through digital solutions, yet the technological landscape remains heterogeneous. This deliverable conducts a gap analysis, assessing the alignment of OADJs with recommended technical best practices outlined in the Report on standards for best publishing practices and basic technical requirements in the light of FAIR principles (Armengou et al., 2023). The analysis employs a versatile approach, combining quantitative analysis of various datasets and desk research on studies and reports. Case studies of European platforms further enrich the evaluation. The assessment identifies technical gaps and successes and lacks a comprehensive OADJs registry that the CRAFT-OA project will address through solutions like the Diamond Discovery Hub.

    CRAFT-OA Deliverable 2.2 Reusable curriculum for upskilling trainings
    (Genève : CERN, 2024) Kupreyev, Maxim; Fenner, Jorina; Müller, Lisa; Avanço, Karla; Nygård, Antti-Jussi; Bargheer, Margo; Klaus, Tabea
    The training needs of Open Access Journal editors, reviewers, Institutional Publishing Service Providers (IPSPs) and Institutional Publishing Tools & Technology Providers (IPTPs) are as  diverse as the technical standards they are confronted with. The deliverable “D2.2 Reusable curriculum for upskilling trainings” provides a modular framework for upskilling qualification in technical topics and takes into account the variety of publishing environments in which they occur. In addition to suggesting the training topics, the deliverable elaborates on their contents, presents existing training materials and provides practical recommendations for organising and structuring a training. To each training topic a potential target audience, a user level and a FAIR principle (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, Reusability) is assigned. A succinct information on training topics is presented in the curriculum checklist, which can be used as a backbone of the upskilling agenda. The curriculum is thus designed to be adapted to the context and to the mode of the training.
