If you run a new or established open access journal and want guidance, look no further than the OA Journals Toolkit from DOAJ and Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association.

The Toolkit has just had a refresh and includes new content and sections!

"We’re entering uncertain times; a chaotic transition is coming as universities shift away from commercial models to cheaper, more sustainable, non-profit alternatives. As with any publishing revolution, there will be winners and losers."

👏

@theblochian.bsky.social's latest article is a must-read!
Universities want new business models, not just discounts.

As @theblochian.bsky.social (OLH Exec. Director) writes: Together we can move our university funding away from obscene commercial extractivists and back into scholar-led non-profit models

FORUM issue 36 is now live!

The issue explores the family in arts & culture. The intractability of this theme threads web-like through the articles, and is also picked up poetically and reflectively by two guest contributors: Carl Alexandersson and Siân MacGregor.

Our recipe book is finally published! Have a look at some of the recipes from Tz'utujil Maya women from our "Recipes for Recovery" project.
This work was part of my contribution to the @gcrf-ixchel.bsky.social based at the @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social as a postdoc.
Thank you all who contributed! 🌱
We are pleased to share our latest #OA book, 'Mujeres Tz’utujiles: Recetas para la Recuperación en Chuk Muk'.

This recipe book is part of a transformative feminist & decolonial project that documents the agri-food traditions within the work of Tz'utujil Maya women.
