May the 4th be with you! 🌍✨

In a galaxy not so far away… scientists are fighting for open data, open access, and reproducible research.

On April 30, a session was held to present the services offered by the university libraries to the nine new associate professors who took up their positions at Université Côte d’Azur in September. This was the first session of its kind, integrated into the dedicated training program for new faculty members.

Several presentations introduced the university libraries, highlighting in particular their documentary resources and associated services. Additional sessions focused on research support and open science, covering both publications and research data.

The event led to rich and engaging discussions, with participants showing strong interest, especially in researcher identifiers (IdHAL and ORCID), following a personalized diagnostic of their individual situation carried out prior to the session. There was also significant interest in the Epi-Revel diamond open access publishing platform, particularly for its potential to showcase conferences and workshops organized within their laboratories.

Sufyan bin Uzayr and I just created a list of major initiatives for #Diamond #OpenAccess in the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD).

#DiamondOA #ScholComm

As 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 […]

I am rather late to tooting this...

(Also the decision-making process took longer than we expected.
It was a very valuable learning experience!)

This was the first ever start up fund for a mathematics Diamond OA journal.
We decided to support two journal initiatives.

https://www.mathoa.org/announcement/

One of the journals (Combinatorial Commutative Algebra, https://mulpress.mcmaster.ca/CCA/index) has already launched!

With warm congratulations to both projects, we wish you much success in the coming years!

📢We are excited to announce the launch of our Ambassadors Program, starting with 4 researchers who embody the values of Diamond Open Access
They'll advocate for a scholarly ecosystem where research is freely available to all, and where publication is driven by the community.

The 2025 edition of the proceedings of the Young Researchers’ Day of the Centre de la Méditerranée Moderne et Contemporaine (CMMC) is now available on Epi-Revel.

epi-revel.univ-cotedazur.fr/collections/show/2040

It brings together a selection of contributions from the CMMC Young Researchers’ Day held in February 2025. It includes in-depth doctoral and postdoctoral research based on the presentations given during the event.

In line with previous editions, this third edition adopted a more structured organization into thematic panels, focusing in particular on the environment, circulation, and war. Three articles, drawn from these panels, make up this issue.

#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-3

Unfortunately 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.

I just learned about ORE, thanks to Khrys'presso.

I'm really curious about open peer review and more generally about their publishing model.

[ I also wish such a platform was built around a distributed model like ActivityPub. ]
