Invest in Open Infrastructure

I'm all for a move away from a focus on for-profit and non-inclusive models, towards a publishing landscape that fully includes institute- and community-driven #OpenAccess.

I therefore signed this petition, and I hope you would consider doing the same if you're based at a Dutch institute :)

From Nicholas Agar: "Science would continue as before without [the journal 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦]. The same conclusion applies doubly to publishing in the humanities. Philosophers will always philosophise, even if there are no overpriced journals to publish in. It’s worth pointing this out next time there is an increase in the #rent paid for scholarship. Under capitalism, there’s no “enough” switch on the #profits from academic #publishing."

What can be done to challenge the rent-seeking behaviour of the academic publishing industry? - ABC Religion & Ethics

As universities find themselves under increasing budgetary pressure, companies that publish academic research reap impressive profits — a fitting way of characterising these publishers is as rent-seekers.
