Editorial commentary
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 access" class="text-primary underline-offset-2 hover:underline" data-autolinked="true" title="Open access — CASRAI Dictionary">Open Access Journals (DOAJ) as an indexer of community-led OA publishing across the world.
