Best Practices in open access publishing

Ferwerda, Eelco

Publishing is a composite activity that includes several components, and the adoption of best practices in academic publishing should address all aspects: service provision to authors, publishing agreements, peer- reviewing, editing, usage of open access licenses, dissemination, metrics and digital preservation. On most of these topics, best practices have been developed by different academic and professional networks, gaining enough consensus to be adopted by OPERAS consortium. Our objective is to identify the most accepted practices for each area and plan for specific actions for their implementation by OPERAS partners.
