BerlinUP is part of the DFG-funded Service Centre for Diamond Open Access (SeDOA). The aim of SeDOA is to increase the efficiency of Diamond Open Access publishing in Germany through better coordination and greater visibility of existing, decentralised publication infrastructures, to provide key information, and to promote innovation.

Within the framework of SeDOA, the following publication projects can also be carried out by researchers outside the BUA institutions:

• Monographs
• Anthologies
• Journals

On the Service Centre’s website, you will find general information as well as the application forms required to realise your publication projects.

BerlinUP and its four institutions are networked regionally, nationally and internationally and support the open access transformation through collaboration and membership in numerous projects, committees and initiatives.

Memberships in the AG Universitätsverlage, the Association of European University Presses (AEUP) and the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) are of particular importance for the sustainable and quality-assured further development of BerlinUP.

BerlinUP is also involved in cooperation with the open-access.network, the OJS-de.net network, the OJS community of the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and the DSpace consortium.
