Open Access Community Investment Program (OACIP)
Lyrasis' OACIP provides a community-driven framework to evaluate and collectively fund Diamond Open Access journals.
It accepts journals (based on a set of principles listed on the website) to its catalogue and then tries to match them to funders, often library-based. Through this, it aims to provide sustainable and principle-aligned investment for Diamond OA journals. It began in 2021 and has continued to expand, with 8 OA journals fully funded for five years already, and the current catalogue holding many more.
