đź“Ł 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.
