Open Access Done Right

Important contribution of Elena Di Rosa @verfassungsblog on #diamondoa

If we want #ScholarLed publishing models in science, we need to think about long term transformations (shifting budgets!). @TimSchilderoth @elleneuler

Existing initiatives like @openrewi should prepare with full cost transparency around publication costs. We got nothing to hide.

📢 Neu im oa.blog: Stellungnahme des scholar-led.network zum Leopoldina-Papier zur Finanzierung von #DiamondOpenAccess.

scholar-led.network betont, dass eine faire, transparente Finanzierung an den tatsächlichen Bedarfen des Zeitschriftenmachens ausgerichtet sein sollte – und nicht nur wenigen Zeitschriften durch FOkus auf Impact Factor und Flipping zugutekommen darf.
