Editorial Workflows in Diamond Open Access Journals

This guide is designed to help Diamond OA journals by focusing on procedures rather than roles, taking into account the realities of small editorial teams and volunteer-driven operations. It covers steps from manuscript submission, through editorial review, selection of reviewers, peer review, production, publication and post-publication discussions. In each section, the roles, actions and risks are defined. Where relevant, templates (e.g. e-mail templates for notifications) are provided.
