    • Both human and machine readers consume published content. Making it as accessible and reusable as possible is one of the aims of Diamond OA publishing. This may, for example, be facilitated by publishing content in a machine-readable format that follows the JATS XML standard or by depositing it with a digital preservation service to ensure long-term preservation.
