The world’s leading cancer charity to stop funding open access publishing because of hybrid journalsAs numerous posts on this blog have emphasised, the underlying idea of open access (OA) – allowing anyone to read and share published academic research for free – is great in principle, but in practice has failed in important ways. That’s because traditional academic publishers have subverted the open access model to such an extent that the costs for research institutions of publishing in […]

#CancerResearchUK will stop paying #APCs for funded researchers.
https://news.cancerresearchuk.org/2026/04/01/why-we-wont-be-funding-open-access-publishing-any-more/PS. So far, so good. There are strong reasons to move away from APCs. For a summary, see Recommendation 3 of the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement in 2022. (Disclosure: I was the lead author.)
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/#rec-3Unfortunately the Cancer Research UK announcement is marred by several false assertions and assumptions about #OpenAccess.
* Its narrow decision is to stop funding APCs, but its headline is that it will stop funding OA publishing as such. It leaves the distinct false impression that all OA journals charge APCs.
* Deep in the text it says that OA "hasn't worked. At least not in its current form." That looks like a recognition that not all OA depends on APCs. But it isn't explicit and didn't prevent careless language elsewhere in the statement.
* It never acknowledges that no-APC OA (#DiamondOA) journals exist, let alone that they constitute the majority of OA journals.
* It does acknowledge the existence of no-APC OA through repositories, or #GreenOA. But it falsely suggests that green OA must be embargoed. Just to give one notable set of counter-examples, all the federal OA policies in the US require unembargoed green OA.

Day 1 Done
It took more than 12 minutes.
They were all knee push-ups.
Sets of 20 became sets of 10 halfway through.
They were laughably shallow by the end.
I'm dying.But I did it.

I hope everyone's watching #CancerDetectives on Channel 4!
My team has sweated over various aspects of this. It's a big passion project, my colleague's second baby, and hopefully will help more people understand what it means to do #CancerResearch today, and indeed what it means to have cancer now, compared to some decades ago.#channel4 #cancer #cancerVaccines #BrainTumours #LiquidBiopsy #cancerOfUnknownPrimary #LungCancer #P53 #liFraumeni #5GTrial #MILITrial #DETECTION2Trial #CancerResearchUK

Attended the #WithernseaParkRun today. It was the 1st birthday of the event, which seemed to boost the numbers somewhat. Fun day, and there was cake!
Only 2.6 miles until I hit the target for the #CancerResearchUK challenge!
#CRUK #Run62Miles - 59/62

My treadmill lies! It reckoned my run tonight was 5.6km. My #Stryd, which I put far greater trust in, reckons I only ran 4.9km. Certainly felt more than 4.9km though... serves me right from wimping out of running in the rain.

Day 13 of the #CancerResearchUK #Run62Miles challenge, and 34 miles under my belt now.
At the time of writing, up to £170 in donations, but still hoping for some more. Please help by making a donation via https://bit.ly/Run62Miles which redirects to the Cancer Research UK donation page.

Attended the 3rd event at the Woodlands #Parkrun in #Scarborough. They have modified the course slightly, moving the "twiddle in the middle" to the return leg. Quite enjoyed it!
Was a bit misty, but still really warm. 296 in attendance.
It was day 12 of my #Run62Miles challenge for #CancerResearchUK, and I've hit the half-way mark!

I'd be really grateful if you watched, liked and donated.
Thanks.

#CancerResearchUK #Run62Miles 4/62
Wasn’t feeling up to the planned #Runna 8km. Did a progressive #run over 2 miles instead.

9.99km ?!? I was robbed! 😂

So I'm doing a charity hike in a couple of weeks' time. It's for a really good cause, so if you have a few pounds to spare, that would be really appreciated. Any donation, however small, makes a real difference!
