Service Provisions

A home for you to publish your content. We use open-source software Open Journal System (OJS) for journals and Open Monograph Press (OMP) for books.

We provide technical support as needed, including migrations of archived content, upgrades, bug fixes and day-to-day maintenance.

We issue ISSNs, ISBNs and DOIs through the Library's respective membership accounts with the British Library, Nielsen and Crossref.

We digitally preserve the content in-house, through the PKP Preservation Network, and through memberships with LOCKSS and CLOCKSS.

Edinburgh Diamond provides appropriate industry-standard policies, including a publication ethics statement and a digital preservation policy. We also provide advice and best practice guidelines on issues pertaining to academic publishing, including copyright, permissions, publishing workflow guidance and publishing best practice.

We submit books and journals to relevant indexing databases to increase visibility and discoverability. We also help prepare your book or journal to ensure it meets eligibility criteria for the various indexing databases.

Edinburgh Diamond will provide an annual report detailing article downloads, website traffic, journal- and article-level metrics, citations and other information. We will help you track ongoing performance and help you gain an understanding of the various metrics and how to measure success. Please note, the Library may make appropriate use of the statistical data.

 

We ensure our editors retain full editorial control over their journals. This means we do not help with submission or peer review management. Journal editors are responsible for coordinating and managing the workflow for their journal.

At this time, Edinburgh Diamond is unable to offer copy-editing, typesetting or proofreading services. We will, however, work with you to identify potential income streams to assist with sourcing these services yourself.
