It's that time of year again when I remind all my UK academic colleagues to register with @alcs.co.uk so you get paid when your work is used under licenses like the CLA license, PLR etc. It might be more than you think & it's money you're owed for your work being used!

A publishing ecosystem that brings communities of scholars, librarians & OA publishers together to participate in knowledge production, publication, & dissemination is viable. Research cultures would benefit from being more collaborative than competitive. Institutions can help to bridge the gap(s).
