@ElenLeFoll @lcwander @stefan_hessbrueggen I agree with @lcwander on this. Since the work is supposed to be a collective effort of all the authors, the responsibility (and liability) should be on the same collective.
@KarenKeiller I'm at UCD, Ireland, going to Carnegie Institute (USA) soon. I don't know what the new policies are going to be. At my current place, the librarian is great, but can't help beyond a point. We have good inter-library loan services, but it's this hoop-jumping that is beginning to annoy me.
@SRLevine You know funnily, I've had quite a bad experience with PLOS (One). I hope PLOS Biology is better.
@nyhan That is such a cool study. I have previously looked at this resource: https://zenodo.org/records/4553103
for diamond access journals in my field, but to no avail.
OA Diamond Journals Study. Dataset
Context From June 2020 to February 2021, a consortium of 10 organisations undertook a large-scale study on open access journals across the world that are free for readers and authors, usually referred to as “OA diamond journals”. This study was commissioned by cOAlition S in order to gain a better understanding of the OA diamond landscape. Presentation The study undertook a statistical analysis of several bibliographic databases, surveyed 1,619 journals, collected 7,019 free text submissions and other data from 94 questions, and organised three focus groups with 11 journals and 10 interviews with hosting platforms. It collected 163 references in the academic literature, and inventoried 1048 journals not listed in DOAJ. The results of the study are available in the following outputs: Findings Report - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4558704 Recommendations Report- DOI:10.5281/zenodo.4562790 References Library - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4562816 Journals Inventory - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4562828 Dataset - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4553103 This dataset contains data used by and partly generated by the OA Diamond Journals Study on open access journals that do not charge authors. It contains the data files themselves as well as some readme texts with variable lists. Available files: Survey questionnaire, English version (PDF) Survey data without identifying information and without free texts answers (as these might also include identifying information) (CSV). This includes, for some questions, data from DOAJ for journals present in that database.

Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.
Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):
1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability
#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia
Please #boost so I can reach other academics.
You say the other question is pointless, but I argue that there are STILL many aspects of administration, business, laws and intelligence that haven't properly adapted to Brexit. What makes you think the problem of critical software will be so easy to address?
So when you say:
>You asked an hypothetical question and I have given you an hypothetical answer
My question is very much based on real-world events, while your hypothetical answer doesn't fully address mine.
@gotofritz Curious to know which "critical software" is currently GPL licensed in the EU.
Edit: Also refer to my first question on the event the country leaves the EU.
What's with this "only EU software to establish EU tech sovereignty" argument?
If the #EU country where a software was developed pulls a "Brexit"-like stunt, will you stop using that software?
Conversely, if a useful software (licensed and compliant with AGPLv3) was made in a non-EU country; say India or Kenya, will you still reject it?
#techsovereignty can only be achieved by developing, promoting, (and sometimes mandating) #freesoftware , and enforcing its license.
