The Budapest Open Access Initiative, which first defined #OpenAccess.
🎉 As we celebrate the BOAI's 24th anniversary, check out what we've been up to in our first year having transitioned the initiative into an org to advocate for equitable OA.
#EquitableOA
#OpenAccess
As we close out #openaccessweek read about our work to strengthen collaborations between the Open Science & Wikimedia communities. This year we've had the privilege of working with Wikimedia affiliates to conduct a survey to map interest in Open Science. The survey found that there is strong interest in collaboration which inspired us to begin to develop an Open Science Wiki Community, based upon the long-standing and successful GLAM Wiki Community.
Melissa HagemannExcited to share my new paper which explores why countries support equitable #OA models. Through interviews with OA leaders in the Global South, lessons are offered for the global transition to equitable OA.
Thanks to @openfuture for the support and partnership on this journey!
Lessons for the Global Transition to Equitable Open Access to Research – Open Future
Open Access has transformed research accessibility, making half of all articles freely available. However, barriers to publishing persist. This paper examines equitable solutions for both accessing and contributing to research.

Transición de BOAI hacia una Organización que Apoya el Desarrollo de un Acceso Abierto Equitativo.
Today, on the 23rd anniversary of the release of the BOAI, which first defined #OpenAccess, I'm pleased to announce that the BOAI is transitioning into an org to support the development of equitable OA. For more, please see our blog post below, which is being translated into Spanish and Portuguese.

BOAI is still active and issued its 20th anniversary recommendations in 2022.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/
Unlike previous BOAI statements, which made many recommendations, the 20th anniversary statement deliberately focused on just a small number of top priorities:
1. Adopting #OpenInfrastructure
2. Reforming #ResearchAssessment
3. Moving away from #APCs
4. Moving away from #ReadAndPublish agreements.
I'm proud of my association with the #BOAI, #BOAI10, and #BOAI20.
Happy #ValentinesDay to all who are working for #OpenAccess worldwide.
New study: "Our analysis demonstrates that research institutions seem to be ‘trapped’ in #transformative agreements [aka #ReadAndPublish agreements]. Instead of being a bridge towards a fully #OpenAccess world, academia is stuck in the #hybrid system."

Reminder from the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement, section 4.6: "Journals covered by [transformative or read-and-publish] agreements are…hybrid journals…Paying #APCs at hybrid journals [through these agreements] pays the journals to stay hybrid. It pays them to resist the conversion to full #OA that many institutions intend and predict when they enter the agreements."
