This session will cover some of the recent developments in academic publishing. The first part addresses publishing in Diamond Open Access journals. Diamond Open Access as a phenomenon, as well as various incentives related to Diamond Open Access publishing, are briefly introduced. In addition, the session outlines how Aalto University researchers have published in Diamond Open Access publication channels in recent years.

In the second part, we will discuss questions around authorship and ways in which various diverse contributions to research can be appropriately credited in published works. We will explore author contributor statements, discuss the CRediT Contributor Roles, as well as look at some tools that can help in agreeing on authorship.
