Reminder…: Consider submitting to our forthcoming special issue on The Future of Diamond Open Access: Possibilities, Perils, and Pathways. CfP available here:

We invite broader discussion on Diamond OA and its future(s), from the highly conceptual to the deeply infrastructural. What is next for Diamond OA as it oscillates between the potential for either a technocratic or community-led and commons-based future?
