The North American Diamond Knowledge Exchange Group brings together organizations collaborating to create a space to learn and to share intersecting aspects of Diamond Open Access in North America—from infrastructure to institutional needs. Given the distributed nature of the community in North America, participants aim to connect Diamond OA initiatives and to support knowledge sharing between them.
Following the adoption of the Toluca-Cape Town Declaration in December 2024, which affirms that scholarly knowledge is a public good and highlights the importance of Diamond Open Access as a community-driven, non-commercial effort, this group also aims to connect regional initiatives with these global principles.
The North American Diamond Knowledge Exchange Group currently includes representatives from 11 organizations. It will meet monthly and is open to those working on Diamond Open Access in the region. If you would like to participate, email Ashley Gordon at [email protected].
