And yet how often do publishers use ‘but think of the authors!’ as an excuse for the extortionate pricing, restrictive licensing and opposition to approaches like CDL that we see with academic texts. And then they do stuff like this. 🙄 #ebookSOS

Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

in my exp, it's easy to assert you rights for TDM (we have it in UK Law) but it's another thing enforcing/prioritising that over publisher concerns (legitimate or commercially cynical) about misuse

“What does OA have to do with research excellence? Not very much: an output that is OA is no more excellent than one that is not... the REF OA agenda has driven researchers to a compliance-centric view of OA"

If the current cost of OA, is the true cost of OA, then I might agree with this conclusion. I suspect it isn't and the 'chiefs' are tilting at the wrong windmill Time to bin all REF open access rules, say Oxford research chiefs timeshighereducation.com/news/time-bin-… via @timeshighered

@ScholTom @opening_future I think it's a valid approach. It depends how much you could be 'tick-box' diamond without being scholar-led/community-owned/non-commercial

Well worth reading this... The issue to me is whether non-commercial diamond can scale to take a much larger % of REF books (and whether policy allows investment at infrastructure not output level). Otherwise BPC, commercial led will have all the problems of journals

Direct to Open (D2O) is a collective action model built to support the #OpenAccess publication of scholarly books where neither authors nor readers have to pay. D20 has exceeded expectations in its first three years, and we’re thrilled to share the impact! bit.ly/3yjy2ch

@tweeterbarr is putting @sheffielduni on the map as the UK leader in bringing validated knowledge to an audience beyond the academy. No other UK university library is doing more than @UniSheffieldLib to advance equitable #openaccess #impact #notjusttalk

Barr: we want values over revenue; a move away from publishers taking our content and selling it back to us, and towards a value-adding service. #Redux2024
