Today is the 24th birthday of the Budapest Open Access Initiative.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/read/Best known for catalyzing the #OpenAccess movement in 2002, the BOAI has been continuously active and formed a nonprofit organization just last year.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/news/boai-transitioning-to-organization-to-support-the-development-of-equitable-open-access/See the org's progress report on its first year.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/news/boai-celebrates-anniversary-and-reflects-on-progress-of-first-year-as-an-organization/The latest version of the BOAI recommendations is its 20th anniversary statement.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/In contrast to the earlier BOAI statements, which made many recommendations, the 20th anniversary statement deliberately focuses on a small number of top priorities:
1. Adopting #OpenInfrastructure
2. Reforming #ResearchAssessment
3. Moving away from #APCs
4. Moving away from #ReadAndPublish agreements.I'm proud of my contributions to #BOAI (2002), #BOAI10 (2012), and #BOAI20 (2022), and honored to serve on the org steering committee.
Happy #ValentinesDay to all who work for #OpenAccess worldwide.

Unclear on the concept
This editorial in a #Wiley journal praises Wiley for promoting equitable #OpenAccess publishing in #LatinAmerica through #ReadAndPublish agreements that discount #APCs in proportion to national GDP.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ece3.71964PS: To me, equitable OA moves 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 from both APCs and read-and-publish agreements. For the arguments, see the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement, especially recommendations 3 and 4.

Update. The #BOAI is transitioning into an organization, BOAI Org.
"The new organization will foster the development of equitable #OpenAccess and support the adoption of policies, practices and sustainability models that make scholarly communications free to read and publish. The BOAI Org will provide support and guidance to accelerate the implementation of our 20th Anniversary Recommendations which address the systemic problems that obstruct progress towards the realization of our original vision that 'an old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good.'"
Read today's announcement for more on the org's plans and priorities.

Update with a comment.
Don't throw in the towel. First, reform research #assessment to move away from journal impact factors (#JIFs) and to pay more attention to the quality of research than the number of publications or where they published. Second, move away from #APCs. To make research #OpenAccess, favor no-APC #GreenOA and #DiamondOA over APC-based varieties.
BTW, the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement makes both these recommendations. (Disclosure: I was a co-author.)

@tamiel
Absolutely. That's why the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement doesn't call them "transformative". For its full argument against them, see Recommendation 4. (Disclosure: I was a co-author.)

Thanks to @MelissaHagemann for her new blog post on the 20th anniversary recommendations from the Budapest Open Access Initiative (@BOAI).
https://sparcopen.org/news/2024/open-access-as-a-means-to-equity/“#OpenAccess (#OA) is not an end in itself, but a means to other ends, above all, to the equity, quality, usability, and sustainability of research. We must assess the growth of OA against the gains and losses for these further ends.”
(Disclosure: I participated in drafting the recommendations.)

The president for research at #SpringerNature offers a #publisher-based defense of transformative agreements (aka #ReadAndPublish agreements) without confronting any of the serious objections to them.
https://www.timeshighereducation.com/blog/transformative-agreements-are-now-key-open-accessFor some of the serious objections to them, see e.g. the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement, esp Recommendation 4 ("move away from read-and-publish agreements"). Disclosure: I helped write these objections.

See the #BOAI20, Recommendations 3 & 3.7: "We recommend moving away from article processing charges (#APCs). Viable alternatives have long existed, but they are systematically under-noticed, under-discussed, under-appreciated, under-funded, and under-used…Shifting resources from APC-based OA to #green & #diamond OA will enfranchise more voices in global research without reducing the quality or openness of research."
