Creating a Canadian Library Publishing Community to Support Diamond Open Access
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Poster presented at the Global Summit on Diamond Open Access. October 23 - 27, 2023. Toluca, Mexico. Diamond Open Access is a viable form of scholarly publishing in Canada, with an estimated 56% of Canadian non-commercial journals already publishing in immediate open access without APCs. This is made possible with various forms of support, including from Canada’s many library publishers and Coalition Publica’s national, open infrastructure for digital scholarly publishing. As an Institutional Publishing Service Provider (IPSP), library publishers play a vital role in this landscape with more than 40 Canadian libraries providing publishing or hosting services to over 800 scholarly and student publications. However, practitioners in this space have had no formal organization to engage with their issues or to represent them to the wider Canadian scholarly communications community. In October 2022, the Library Publishing Coalition (LPC) struck a Canadian Community Development Working Group (CCDWG). Initiated by Canadian LPC members, the working group was tasked to engage Canadian scholarly communications stakeholders to explore strategies for developing a stronger Canadian library publisher community. Érudit and the Public Knowledge Project, together as Coalition Publica, are supporting the Canadian social sciences and humanities journal community by developing and coordinating an open and sustainable national infrastructure for digital scholarly publishing. Library publishers are an important part of this national infrastructure. This poster illustrates how Coalition Publica and the LPC CCDWG are cooperating to organize the Canadian community of library publishers to support Diamond OA publishing in a national, bilingual context.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
