This is exactly the type of experimentation that is needed for the further development of Diamond #OpenAccess! Congrats to Samuel Moore & the team Cambridge University Library.

Congratulations, Stephen Pinfield! Grateful that you highlight the need to focus energies on the global development of OA, as currently "OA has been seen as imposing exploitative business and publishing models on researchers in low-resource contexts, particularly (LMICs)."

Excited for another Wikimania in Poland!

Through my fellowship with OpenFuture, I've been exploring the emerging strategy of advocating for #OpenAccess in critical fields, such as COVID-19 and climate science. I believe this strategy can ultimately support the overall growth of the movement. openfuture.eu/blog/advocatin…

Encouraging to hear PLOS will develop an equitable, non APC business model! Our #BOAI20 Recommendations call for a move away from APCs in favor of more inclusive publishing and distribution channels that never exclude authors on economic grounds.

Congratulations to communia on the release of their Digital Knowledge Act for Europe. So excited to see that #OA is one of their 4 priorities!!They call for the EU to develop a law to require that all publicly funded research be made immediately available in an OA repository
