Second Webinar in Series Highlighting the Need to Protect the Diamond Open Access Model in Latin America

The BOAI Org and the National Council of Rectors of Costa Rica (CONARE) are pleased to announce the second event in our series of webinars addressing the worrying trend of diamond journals adopting the APC model. This webinar will focus on Brazil.

Latin America pioneered the development of diamond open access journals which are both free to read and free to publish in. These journals are typically supported by research departments within universities or through governmental funding and are leading examples of equitable open access.
