Quality evaluation criteria, best practices, and assessment systems for Institutional Publishing Service Providers (IPSPs): dataset

The dataset contains tabular information on the elements of best practice in scholarly publishing found in a set of documents (high-level recommendations and principles, indexation criteria and specific assessment guidelines used on the national and institutional levels). The set of documents subject to analysis (58 items) were identified by the DIAMAS project team members (bibliographic metadata are provided in IPSP-best-practice-documents.xml and IPSP-best-practice-documents.ris).

The dataset was compiled by the DIAMAS project team using an analysis matrix that included the general information about the documents (title, issuing entity, scope and purpose, etc.) and the the seven core components of scholarly publishing identified in the Diamond Open Access Action Plan (2022) and revised by the DIAMAS project team.

More information about the data collection methodology can be found in the report D3.1 IPSP Best Practices Quality evaluation criteria, best practices, and assessment systems for Institutional Publishing Service Providers (IPSPs) (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7859172), which is based on this dataset.
