Introduction
The DO.ASK (Diamond Open Access Starter toolKit) aims to cover the common questions that need to be asked for the creation and maintenance of an institutional publishing service. The DO.ASK has been written for platform managers and technical staff of institutional publishing service providers (IPSPs). The document includes general sections related to starting a service and sections specific to publishing platforms.
Description
There are many ways to use this Toolkit. It can be read in its entirety in one sitting, or used as a reference to answer specific questions that may arise at different points in the life of the service.
The document is in FAQs format and all questions follow a similar structure to facilitate their reading. The document can be consulted on-line in this web or downloaded in PDFs and ePub formats.
