"This survey aims to gather perspectives on achieving truly equitable global open access as outlined in the OASPA ‘Next 50%’ project primer available via the Zenodo repository: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15463314.
Your responses will inform discussions about reassessing what "open" truly means and on creating a more inclusive knowledge ecosystem. This will support a more holistic transition to open access."

The Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA) is launching a new project for 2025, bringing together publishing organisations with those who pay for, fund and invest in scholarly communication. This initiative, delivered in collaboration with Research Consulting, builds on OASPA's research and outputs of the past few years, following over 3,000 downloads of these recommendations on financial and workflow barriers. This project primer is intended to frame a range of current challenges and takes you through three aspects of openness that need to be combined to provide a truly equitable scholalry communication system. At the end of the document, we pose several questions that we would like readers to carefully consider prior to attending project workshops or providing feedback via our open survey (accepting responses till 11 July 2025). Our goal is to help stakeholders across the scholarly publishing community embrace a more inclusive vision of open access - one that distributes benefits and responsibilities fairly, based on collectively determined priorities.

The recording of the OASPA deep-dive into 'Subscribe to Open' aka S2O is now up https://www.oaspa.org/events/wayfinders-4-a-deep-dive-into-s2o-subscribe-to-open/
Really worth checking this out if you're not familiar with S2O.
The key thing to remember with S2O is that authors can make their work open access with no author-side fees under this model - it doesn't matter what your affiliation is. Enabling truly equitable open access. Diamond OA is best, but S2O is a pragmatic middle-ground and worthy of supporting too...
