The CRAFT-OA 2024 Summer School for Journal Editors is a training course for those who wish to improve their skills in automated journal management. With a focus on PKP's Open Journals System, this programme offers both basic and advanced training to refine editorial skills and raise the standards of Diamond Open Access publishing. Participants will delve into various aspects of OJS, gain insights into alternative journal management systems, and engage in meaningful discussions about the broader landscape of Diamond OA publishing. Come to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of Telč, network with peers, share expertise and explore collaborative opportunities to advance the field of scholarly communication.

The Summer School is organised as part of the EU-funded CRAFT-OA project. The project aims to make the Open Access landscape more resilient by centralising expertise, collaboration and a common visibility/indexing layer. More information is available at https://www.craft-oa.eu/
