After several decades of evolving, Open Access (OA) publishing is now at the centre of scientific communication, providing access to scientific publications without barriers. In Diamond Open Access, authors can publish free of charge as the institutional sector with universities, research institutions or libraries provide the necessary technological infrastructure. While the commercial model of Open Access dominates in anglophone journals from the Global North, the Diamond OA model shows a much higher level of diversity and origin. However, the Diamond OA landscape continues to be fragmented, is often underfunded, and is not always technically proficient enough to develop its full potential for science and society. The CRAFT-OA project aims to consolidate the Diamond OA publishing landscape. The project focuses on four threads of activities to improve the technical and organisational infrastructure of Diamond OA: (1) Provide technical improvements for journal platforms and journal software (2) Build communities of practice to foster overall infrastructure improvement (3) Increase visibility, discoverability and recognition for Diamond OA publishing (4) Integrate Diamond OA publishing with EOSC and other large-scale data aggregators. CRAFT-OA’s 23 consortium partners from 14 European countries are all engaged in institutional publishing and its infrastructures, and committed to sustaining and developing capacities in the field. Many CRAFT-OA partners are leading organisations at national and European levels in terms of open publishing, and represent internationally visible centres of expertise in Open Science and FAIR implementation with strong connections to EOSC. Within 36 months, CRAFT-OA will deliver technical and community tools, training events, training materials, information, and services for the Diamond OA institutional publishing environment. It will foster communities of practice with the capacity to sustain the project improvements over time

经过几十年的发展，开放获取（OA）出版现在是科学传播的中心，提供对科学出版物的无障碍获取。在Diamond Open Access中，作者可以免费发表论文，因为机构部门与大学、研究机构或图书馆提供了必要的技术基础设施。虽然开放获取的商业模式在全球北方的英语期刊中占主导地位，但钻石开放获取模式显示出更高水平的多样性和起源。然而，钻石开放获取的前景仍然是支离破碎的，经常资金不足，技术上并不总是足够精通，无法充分发挥其在科学和社会方面的潜力。CRAFT-OA项目旨在巩固Diamond OA出版格局。该项目重点关注四方面活动，以改善钻石OA的技术和组织基础设施：(1)为期刊平台和期刊软件提供技术改进；(2)建立实践社区，促进整体基础设施改进；(3)提高钻石OA出版的可见性、可发现性和认可度；(4)将钻石OA出版与EOSC和其他大型数据聚合器集成。CRAFT-OA的23个联盟伙伴来自14个欧洲国家，他们都参与了机构出版及其基础设施，并致力于维持和发展该领域的能力。在开放出版方面，许多CRAFT-OA合作伙伴都是国家和欧洲层面的领先组织，代表着开放科学和公平实施方面的国际知名专业中心，与EOSC有着密切的联系。在36个月内，CRAFT-OA将为钻石OA机构出版环境提供技术和社区工具、培训活动、培训材料、信息和服务。它将培养实践社区，使其有能力随着时间的推移维持项目的改进
