Katie Smart served as a research librarian at UiT The Arctic University of Norway from 2022 to 2025. A geologist with research experience from three countries (Canada, Germany, South Africa), Katie's role at UiT was as a specialist in open science services. In this episode, she discusses different local and national services for open science that she has been involved in and emphasizes that marketing open science to academia must include the perspective of the target audience: the researchers. Although open science can be framed benefiting academia and society as a whole, in order to get strong buy-in from academia it must also be framed as to how it will propel each individual’s career.

How can Diamond Open Access be funded? The Finnish Federation of Learned Societies (TSV) hosts a platform with more than 150 learned society journals and are distributing governmental funding to cover the operating costs of under-financed national Diamond journals. In Canada, the majority of scholarly journals are Diamond thanks to library resources and governmental funds. More than 250 Canadian journals are showcased by Érudit. In the Netherlands, a fund to help medium to large size journals transition away from a commercial business model has been launched. The three interlocutors each have prominent roles in these funding schemes.
