The International Steering Committee alongside national hosting partners officially announces that Indonesia will host the 4th Global Summit on Diamond Open Access.
Following successful editions in Toluca (Mexico, 2023), Cape Town (South Africa, 2024), and Bengaluru (India, 2026), the 4th Summit gathers the global academic community to advance non-commercial, scholar-led scientific publishing.
With thousands of active institutional journals operating without reader fees or author-facing Article Processing Charges (APCs), Indonesia provides a dynamic setting to discuss technological sovereignty, open-source infrastructure sustainability, and equitable research assessment.
Key Highlights of the Upcoming Summit:
- High-level policy roundtables aligned with the UNESCO Recommendation on Open Science.
- Technical clinics focusing on open-source journal publishing stacks and persistent identifier (PID) integrations.
- Parallel presentation tracks on bibliodiversity, multilingualism, and reform of academic evaluation metrics.
- Hybrid attendance format offering both on-site participation and interactive global live streaming.
Call for proposals and official participant registration are now open. Scholars, journal editors, academic librarians, and policymakers are invited to register early to secure attendance.
