Ok people. I'll try again to be more active rather than just lurking about!

Also, sign the #diamondOA pledge: https://forrt.org/diamond-reviewer/#join

This is about the easiest thing to sign from my side because I'm hopefully already in the progress to review one (some tech hickups that I need to remind people about) - so that is an easy tick box exercise that can make me feel good about myself 😂

2/ Footnote on the terminology problem.

You've probably heard me say many times that the term "gold OA" original referred to #OpenAccess delivered by #journals, regardless of the journal's business model, as opposed to "green OA", which was delivered by repositories. Hence, gold OA could charge #APCs or not charge APCs. What we now call #DiamondOA was a species of #GoldOA.

But the term has definitely drifted and now most people use it to refer only to APC-based OA and to exclude no-APC or diamond OA. I don't like this drift, and I fought it, in part because it invited misinterpretation of early writings about OA. But I accept the drift because it's a fact of current usage. For more on this drift, see my 2021 Twitter thread.
https://x.com/petersuber/status/1379818546671317002

In its report Springer Nature uses "gold OA" in the new sense, and I use the term in the same sense when discussing the report. Normally, to avoid ambiguity and confusion, I don't use the term at all.

1/ #SpringerNature just published a report showing certain download and citation benefits of "gold" #OpenAccess. (I'm linking to the executive summary.)
https://stories.springernature.com/from-access-to-impact-open-access-research/executive-summary/index.html

But it's very misleading, even dishonest, in one respect. It shows that #GoldOA articles are downloaded and cited more than non-OA articles. But it attributes this to the fact that they are gold OA (charging #APCs), not to the fact that they are OA. Because it didn't test no-APC or #DiamondOA journals, attributing the download and citation benefits to the APC business model is unjustified and deceptive.

It also says that the gold OA model supports "greater equity" because it allows more downloads than non-OA models in low-income countries. But that kind of equity belongs to all flavors of OA. The report never mentions that APCs severely reduce equity by excluding authors who cannot afford to pay.

Update. Another article made it through peer review (at Springer) leaving the false impression in many passages that all #OpenAccess journals charge #APCs and that all or most APCs are to be paid by authors out of pocket. This despite the fact that it acknowledges the existence of no-APC #GreenOA and #DiamondOA, and the existence of APC funds other than the authors' pockets. It just doesn't let these acknowledgements change or qualify sweeping language in other parts of the article.
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11606-024-08921-5

For example, the title and abstract talk about the high costs to authors of OA as such, when they're really about APC-based OA. Table 2 refers to the pros and cons to junior faculty of OA as such, when it's really about the pros and cons of APC-based OA.

It's so easy to say APC-based OA when you mean APC-based OA. It's so wrong to say OA without qualification when you mean APC-based OA.

🎵 Volume 43, No. 1 of the French Journal of Music Therapy is available on Epi-Revel and brings together four texts (open access, in french).

https://epi-revel.univ-cotedazur.fr/collections/show/2079

The article by Mohamed Zinelabidine, a musicologist, musician and professor, focuses on Tunisian and Eastern musical culture and its links with philosophy. Paula Martinez Takegami’s article, meanwhile, focuses on Dance-Movement Therapy. Her approach, informed by her experience as a migrant woman from the Global South, offers a reflection that is both instructive and poetic.

Two other articles focus more directly on music therapy: Wassim Jomaa addresses the concept of recovery, which is already established in psychiatry and psychosocial rehabilitation but remains underdeveloped in music therapy; and Charlotte Guy’s article, based on a presentation given at the Clinical Study Days held by the Nantes Institute of Music Therapy in March 2026, explores the notions of non-verbal communication, synchronisation, empathy and reactive countertransference in music therapy.

Taken as a whole, this issue offers complementary perspectives on cultural diversity, arts therapies and contemporary clinical challenges in music therapy. 🎼
