#oad — Public Fediverse posts

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

Thanks to Sufyan bin Uzayr for enlarging and updating the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD) list of Declarations in support of #OpenAccess.
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Declarations_in_support_of_OA

All OAD lists are #crowdsourced. If you'd like to help make any of them more comprehensive and up to date, here's how to get started.

Thanks to Sufyan bin Uzayr for enlarging and updating the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD) list of #advocacy organizations for #OpenAccess.

Like all OAD lists, this one is #crowdsourced. Here's how to help make any of the OAD lists more comprehensive and up to date.

Programming Historians publie un guide qui montre comment recréer une bataille antique en tant que scénario dans le jeu open source #Oad Excellent ! https://programminghistorian.org/en/lessons/teach-history-and-languages-with-strategy-game

youpi il fait enfin pas beau ! outre l'arrosage du potager c'est surtout le signal d'un instant de geekerie intense a la maison! #lan #Oad #openarena #openra #luanti

Today the editorial board of _Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) resigned and launched a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics.

See the open letter announcing their resignations and plans for the new journal.

The new journal has a German title but will publish in English, _Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik_.

I track these journal "declarations of independence" in the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD), and just added an entry for this one, at the bottom in chronological order.
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Journal_declarations_of_independence#2025

I also track them — and discussions of them — in the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp).

The Open Access Directory (#OAD) is looking for a co-editor. Please spread the word.
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/The_OAD_is_looking_for_a_co-editor

I'm an OAD co-founder and serve on the editorial board. I look forward to working with the new person.

The OAD is a crowdsourced reference work on #OpenAccess, launched in 2008.
http://oad.simmons.edu

The editorial board of the 52-yr old _Journal of Human Evolution_ just resigned to protest #Elsevier's interference with editorial practices, reducing journal quality, and insistence on a high #APC ($3990), reducing its affordability to authors in the field. "We all care deeply about the journal, our discipline, and our academic community; however, we find we can no longer work with Elsevier in good conscience."

There's no sign yet that the editors will launch a new #OpenAccess journal somewhere else. So I've not yet added it to the #OAD list of journal #DeclarationsOfIndependence

El otro día jugué al #OAD con mi hijo y tuvo mucho éxito,un valioso tiempo de complicidad paternofilial. Tenemos que repetir.

@fionabradley Thank you! I just added the #QUT policy to the #OAD list.

@fionabradley
Excellent. The list on the Open Access Directory (#OAD) aims to be complete but only lists one from Australia (U of New South Wales).
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/University_rights-retention_OA_policies

Can you add any others? (OAD is crowd-sourced.) Or if you can identify them for me, I can add them.

The Open Access Directory (#OAD) just launched its new list of university rights-retention OA policies.
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/University_rights-retention_OA_policies

There are already different lists around the web for uni policies taking different approaches to rights retention. This an attempt to capture them all.

Remember that OAD is a #crowdsourced #wiki and depends on the #OA community to keep it current and comprehensive.

@mlinksva
I have the same questions. If it belongs on this list from the Open Access Directory (#OAD), I'll add it. But not yet clear.

@RoarStovner
Thanks, I posted about that at the time.
https://fediscience.org/@petersuber/110220128798182119

I also created an entry for it in the #OAD list of these mass resignations.

Update. For more background, note that in March 2022 all three of the #Oregon universities affirmed the #MIT principles for negotiating with publishers.
https://library.oregonstate.edu/osu-psu-and-uo-libraries-initiate-negotiations-elsevier

The U of Washington has similar negotiating principles.

See the crowd-sourced Open Access Directory (#OAD) collection of similar principles.
