3rd Global Summit on Diamond Open Access

We are pleased to share the Bengaluru Roadmap and Action Plan on Diamond Open Access, the outcome document of the 3rd Global Summit on Diamond Open Access held in Bengaluru, India, from 2–6 February 2026.

The roadmap was developed through a collective and consultative process led by the International Oversight Committee and reflects the deliberations of 347 participants representing 36 countries.

The document advances a shared vision for equitable, community-governed, and sustainable scholarly communication systems. It highlights key priorities including:

• Strengthening publicly funded and community-owned publishing infrastructures • Advancing bibliodiversity and multilingual scholarly communication • Supporting non-commercial publishing ecosystems • Promoting responsible research assessment • Enhancing global collaboration across institutions and regions • Building long-term sustainability models for Diamond Open Access

The Bengaluru Roadmap builds upon earlier global discussions initiated at the Diamond Open Access Summits in Toluca (2023) and Cape Town (2024), while bringing stronger perspectives from the Global South into the global discourse.

🔸 El trabajo presenta PaperBanana, un marco “agentic” que automatiza la creación de diagramas metodológicos y gráficas con calidad “lista para publicación”.
🔸 Propone un flujo con agentes especializados (búsqueda de referencias, planeación, estilo, visualización y crítica) para mejorar fidelidad, legibilidad y estética frente a enfoques base.
🔸 Introduce PaperBananaBench, un benchmark con 292 casos curados de NeurIPS 2025 para evaluar diagramas en cuatro dimensiones: fidelidad, concisión, legibilidad y estética.
🔸 El artículo también advierte un punto clave: la automatización visual puede traer “alucinaciones” o errores de fidelidad, por lo que insiste en la supervisión humana para proteger la integridad científica.
