SESSION 2 - OJS Diamond Plugins 1: Interoperability
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Room: Sala lettura OJS Diamond Plugins are being developed to make the editor’s job easier. According to the OA Diamond Journals Study, many journal editors manage their journals as a “second job” alongside their primary roles, often as researchers. These Diamond plugins will assist editors in enhancing the discoverability of their journals, while also facilitating automatic connections to key databases and aggregators such as OpenAIRE and EOSC. These two sessions will present the current progress regarding the related work. - Plug-ins for OJS and Lodel Interoperability based on JATS XML - OJS plugin for the EOSC Interoperability Framework on Research Product Publishing - OJS plugin for integrating feedback from EOSC catalog - OJS connector for OpenAIRE Research Graph - Discoverability Companion (DISCO) a self-assessment tool to check current level of journal visibility

SESSION 2 - Upskilling curriculum for technical standards
SESSION 2 - Upskilling curriculum for technical standards
11:30 AM - 1:00 PM
Room: Sala musica The training needs of Open Access Journal editors, reviewers, IPSPs[1] and IPTPs[2] are as diverse as the technical standards they are confronted with. The curriculum 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 and provides practical recommendations for organizing and structuring a training. To each training topic a potential target audience, a user level and a FAIR principle 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. Upskilling curriculum describes the existing training materials, some of which will be presented in the following two sessions: - Session 3: “What works best for you? Trying and assessing training material for technical publication standards” - Session 4: Session 4: Automated Conversion to JATS XML: A hands-on workshop [1] IPSPs: Institutional Publishing and/or Service Providers [2] IPTPs: Institutional Publishing Tool & Technology Providers

SESSION 3 - Training materials (“What works best for you? Trying and assessing training material for technical publication standards”)
2:00 PM - 3:15 PM
Room: Sala musica Session 3: “What works best for you? Trying and assessing training material for technical publication standards” WP3 of CRAFT-OA is developing new training material in Task 3.3 (running until June 2025) and is seeking your input: During this interactive session, we will look into different training materials that address technical publication standards. You will get the opportunity to work on selected materials on a variety of topics. As a conclusion of the session we are asking for your feedback on training formats and topics that fit your needs in order to inform the next phase of the task. No prior knowledge is required; we are particularly interested in your personal impressions and local contexts to develop suitable material. If possible, please bring your own devices to be able to explore material individually. Session 4: Automated Conversion to JATS XML: A hands-on workshop In this workshop, we will introduce the stand-alone technical support for the automatic conversion of articles to the JATS XML format, developed within the Portal of Croatian scientific and professional journals HRČAK. This automatic conversion service is planned to be available to all European journals. The availability of such services is expected to encourage publishing in the JATS XML format by significantly reducing the time and resources required for its creation. Participants will have the opportunity to trial the automated conversion tool, facilitated by SRCE, which enables conversion from formats such as DOCX to JATS XML. The workshop will cover the fundamental structure and benefits of JATS XML, along with strategies for optimizing articles to ensure efficient automated conversion. Additionally, there will be discussions on the future development and sustainability of this tool.

The LH will be developed in collaboration with the Diamond OA community, ensuring the content is relevant and applicable. In line with this aim, the session will strive for a mutual exchange of knowledge. The LH’s state of development will be discussed. Participants as active members of the DOA community are invited to give structured feedback and thus help to shape the Living Handbook according to the community’s needs.

SESSION 7 - OJS Diamond Plugins 2: Visibility and Discoverability
SESSION 7 - OJS Diamond Plugins 2: Visibility and Discoverability
2:00 PM - 3:15 PM
Room: Main room Discoverability Companion (DISCO) is an OJS plugin that will help Diamond journals to assess and to increase their visibility & discoverability. Building on the knowledge base of the main indexes and aggregators used in the academic field developed within Task 5.1, this plugin provides a consolidated list of their requirements. In many cases the requirements are very similar or even the same in different indexes, but they are named differently, which may not be obvious to the user at first glance. Moreover, it will also act as an incentive for editors – visually showing them that if they meet this requirement, they can log into that database.
