Bibliodiversity is borrowed from the cultural-policy concept of biodiversity and adapted for scholarly publishing by the 2017 Jussieu Call. It opposes the consolidation of scholarly communication into a few large commercial publishers, English as the de facto language, and APC-funded models. Practical implications include support for non-English-language journals, for community-run platforms (SciELO, Redalyc, AmeliCA, African Open Science Platform), for diverse business models (diamond OA, S2O, mission-driven publishing), and for the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) as an indexer of community-led OA publishing across the world.
