In 2024, we conducted a community survey on behalf of @DOAJ on the use of their metadata. The results and changes can be found online. Thank you @DOAJ for trusting us with this important work! Part 1: blog.doaj.org/2025/01/08/res… Part 2: blog.doaj.org/2025/01/08/res… - retiring the Seal.

It's #OpenAccessWeek, but are you losing the forest through the trees when it comes to OA? Our very own @brigitte_shull helps you bringing the goals of Open Access back into focus! goldleaf.co.uk/2024/10/25/los…

"It's interesting to think about Read versus Publish: if the goal is making more content available to more readers, it's worked; but it hasn’t improved accessibility to publishing for authors." Our #OAweek mini-series continues with @MLevCla (@UofDenver): blog.degruyter.com/open-access-we…

Happy #OAweek! This year we've teamed up with @goldleaf2001 to check in with librarians about the OA transformation. Can we still hope for the day when all scholarly publishing becomes available via this model? First up is @UniOfYork's Sarah Thompson! 🔗 blog.degruyter.com/the-triumphs-t…
