If we truly want a sustainable, more equitable, and more bibliodiverse Diamond OA future, we cannot defer this to some theoretical optimal time. The @copim.bsky.social community (inc. @openbookcollective.bsky.social) and our expanding networks, including @ojcollective.bsky.social are here to help!

Positive spin – things break down a little, but this undermines a slightly warping commercial logic that has dominated for too long, and we come out of this with creative, partnership approaches for future dissemination of scholarly content

Scaling up – a lot of revenue-driven publishers told me that only they could offer the scale the sector needed, yet at the same conference @ojcollective.bsky.social was launched and @oipassoc.bsky.social and @copim.bsky.social were out in force

We’re discussing a STEM collection. If we considered health journals we’d need partner organisations to curate diamond OA titles of journals looking to flip away from commercial publishers. Please email us if you have any contacts (caroline.edwards@bbk.ac.uk).

Wonderful! We’re still designing the collections and finalising our model. Watch this space for updates soon.

👏 What an exciting initiative!

As an #OpenAccess publisher, we understand the importance of accelerating the advancement of academic #research while removing barriers for authors.

OJC is a big step toward sustainable, equitable #OA, and we look forward to seeing its impact 🎉

This is amazing work which all academics (especially in the humanities), university administrators and policy makers should read @rhul-cvs.bsky.social @univeng.bsky.social @englishassociation.bsky.social
