@craftoa and PKP have been working together to improve #OpenInfrastructure #ScholarlyPublishing software features that lend to open access. A big thank you to CRAFT-OA for all your support and amazing work!
Check out their blog post to learn more about enhancements in #OpenJournalSystems 3.5 and 3.6 ⤵️
📣 Our friends at the #ScholCommLab have published a preprint, "The Drain of #ScientificPublishing", and are calling for #research communities, funders, governments, and #universities to "re-communalise publishing to serve #science not the market"
PKP supports this call, and works to develop and maintain free open software for independent scholarly publishing.
