KOALA-AV

This is a German consortial, government-funded funding project (2023-2025 ongoing). It collaboratively funds Diamond OA journals in Germany by creating a consortial library funding model. Currently it provides funds to a number of journals mostly in STEM fields. The participating journals have to adhere to a set of requirements based on those of Plan S, COPE, DOAJ, OASPA and others. It builds on the original journal pilot (2021-2023) by TIB Leibniz and Universität Konstanz.
