Openjournals.ge, an open access multidisciplinary publishing platform for Georgian academic journals, EIFL’s partner in Georgia, the Georgian Integrated Library Information System Consortium (GILISC), and ‘Ivane Javakhishvili’ Tbilisi State University National Science Library of Georgia will host webinar on quality evaluation criteria, best practices and assessment systems for open access journal publishing that have been developed by international associations, funders and international databases. 

Iryna Kuchma, EIFL Open Access Programme Manager, and Milica Ševkušić, EIFL Open Access Project Coordinator, will give presentations and engage in discussions. Their input will centre on the DIAMAS (Developing Institutional Open Access Publishing Models to Advance Scholarly Communication) report on Quality evaluation criteria, best practices, and assessment systems for Institutional Publishing Service Providers (IPSPs), that Kuchma and Ševkušić co-authored.
