In defence of repositories coar-repositories.org/news-updates/i… In reply to @scholarlykitchn blog. Lisa Hinchliffe (unfortunately) does not accurately portray the reality related to discoverability of repository content. Next time, ask the experts @COAR

RightsRetention & #SecondaryPublishingRights = complementary mechanisms that let you share work in #OpenAccess! Check out @EIFLnet explainer bit.ly/4eseHpT & webinar bit.ly/3Xr8ioP & learn to take control of your rights! #RetainYourRights #OAWeek

Great that LSE has adopted an OA publications policy (2025) that will enable LSE researchers to use their own peer reviewed research outputs (papers etc) as they choose @LSELibrary Frustrating that author choice is still not the universal publishing norm. info.lse.ac.uk/staff/services…

Public libraries are vital to our social fabric. Places to learn & enjoy leisure. Also they: - are places to meet - benefit from connectivity, physically & digitally - invite us to engage in our communities. Without this social infrastructure neighbourhoods are left behind.

At the University of Sheffield, we want to move beyond paying individual APCs & BPCs, to support diamond publishing initiatives for journals & monographs, & open access infrastructure. Find out more about initiatives we've supported here sheffield.ac.uk/library/librar… #OAWeek 2024

Open letter from a group of sleuths re problems with editors/papers at Scientific Reports deevybee.blogspot.com/2024/10/an-ope… They've published 23K papers in 2024 with APC of £2090, raising £48 million from this journal alone, so should be able to put resource into cleaning this up.


Yes, yes, and thrice yes!

Academic publishing is not a service industry but a product industry. For commercial publishers, this is especially the case. The purpose of copyright is to assert "ownership" of the product (article, book) & then "sell" that to libraries. It's not a fucking service industry.
