the costs that the academic publishing industry extract out of universities are not sustainable and present a substantial barrier to publication for precarious colleagues (and, in the future the govt is making, colleagues at smaller/less well-off institutions)
'New proposals by Elsevier, Springer Nature, Taylor & Francis, Wiley and Sage were sent to universities this week after their initial offers were decisively rejected by institutions in a sector-wide consultation run by Jisc,...negotiating jointly with Universities UK on behalf of universities.' 1/3
New offers from big five ‘still too costly’ for UK universities
‘Significant’ number of institutions predicted to drop deals with main scholarly imprints, leaving journal access much reduced

This year's #OAweek theme "Who owns our knowledge?" resonates strongly with me. Working with the OLH reminds me every day why scholar-led, diamond open access publishing matters.
It’s #OAweek, and this year we’re also celebrating 10 years since the publication of the first article in the #OLHjournal marking a decade since the launch of the OLH itself.
We’re proud to celebrate a decade of scholar-led, #diamondOA publishing, sustained by our incredible community 🎉 🧵 (1/4)
