Please, do not call "Diamond OA" "sponsored" as these silly people at
Delta Think do. When I saw that expression in Tasha Mellins-Cohen
article on OA business models, I said to myself: here we go again. Gold
used to mean OA through journals, with no reference to business models.
Suddenly, Gold became APC-Gold. Now Diamond, already burdened by a quasi
synonym - platinum - is going to be "sponsored OA" with the intimation
of course that it is not a real business model. Well, from that
perspective, diamond is not a business model, it is the result of a
policy that says that publishing is an integral part of research, and,
like all research, it is supported not by a business plan, but by
various kinds of subsidies, many of which are public. The NSF, in
accepting to pay for page charges in the 1950s, rested its case on
precisely this argument.

> join in person in Doha). *I hope you will share this information with
> friends, students and colleagues across your network. *

> In addition, I wanted to let you know that we have further expanded
> our programme to include a high-impact exploration of the open science
> advancements made across the region, with a special opening roundtable
> discussion from key regional stakeholders including the leaders of the
> Association of Arab Universities, the Arab Scientific Research and
> Education Network, the Africa Reproducibility Network and the Arab
> Institute of Knowledge Management.
