I am enthusiastic about the OJC and how well it has been set up to advance diamond (free) open access, working with libraries and funders.

This is how to convert from a for-profit Big Deal to an equitable, but professionalised, diamond OA system!

@theblochian.bsky.social and I dreamed of this scale when we launched @openlibhums.org Now, she has done it. Consortial funding, at scale.

Now over to the library community to support it.

Thrilled that the California Digital Library is a founding OJC publishing parter, with 14 eScholarship journals included in the 2026 collection. An important financial sustainability initiative for Diamond Open Access!

Fantastic news! 👏 👏

If you care about the future of community-led diamond open access publishing, this is well worth a look. OJC is an important step towards mainstreaming #diamondOA and making it the norm rather than the exception.
