cOAllition S emphasizes that support for its Transformative Journal programme will cease by the end of this year.
https://www.coalition-s.org/blog/transformative-journals-analysis-from-the-2023-reports/
Is there an argument that even this is too late?
That a lot of damage has already been done through:
1) @cOAlitionS_OA's tacit positioning of APCs as the main model for paying for open access, the enshrining of this model, and the introduction of it in places where it did not operate previously?
2) the embedding of this APC model in some organisational budgets?
3) the ensuing extraction of large amounts of money from the higher education system over the period between the launch of cOAllition S in 2018 and the end of this programme 2024?

@SarahHLib I only wish we could generalise this to (all) mathematicians.
The London Mathematical Society is still dragging their feet and making wrong moves :/ https://www.lms.ac.uk/publications/journals
LMS have an APC-OA journal with Wiley and I bet that's not going well for them... https://doaj.org/toc/2052-4986

🚨 SIGNIFICANT, POSITIVE ANNOUNCEMENT ALERT 🚨
The European Mathmatical Society, working with research libraries, have found a way to make ALL of the research journals they publish open access, without the need for author-side fees (no APCs!). Bravo @EuroMathSoc

Today I'm reading: Volume 64, Issue 1 of the journal Centaurus, on "How Epidemics End"
https://www.brepolsonline.net/toc/cnt/2022/64/1Background:
very grateful, that I _can_ read the whole issue, because the journal switched from the publisher Wiley to a new publisher - Brepols, AND changed to open access via Subscribe to Open with the change in publisher...
