At BMJ Group we historically used platinum and diamond interchangeably, but in recent years diamond has become standard to describe OA journals within our portfolio whose costs are met entirely by an institution or other.

Thank you Danny for linking to your piece.

I did enjoy. A lot! Thank you. After my battle with "dark money" being thrown around wantonly, this was really nice to read. Thank you again.

Incidentally, diamond was also name "platinum" in the past. Does anyone have more information about this?

Hi all,

This is a post I wrote post-FORCE11 reflecting the many discussions we had at the event about the use and mis-use of words in the open space.

"Language co-option in the open space" - https://upstream.force11.org/language-co-option-in-the-open-space/

Enjoy!
