    So if charges 11,000$ to publish a paper open-access that is already basically available for free on you are essentially paying for the imprimatur right? In that case shouldn’t the paper be labeled as advertisement?

    And pays reviewers?!

    . is operated by the nonprofit . It charges less than a tenth of that and pays its reviewers. Springer-Nature is a corporation that had revenues of $2 billion in 2019 🤔

    MPDL’s 2015 white paper shows that libraries put enough money into the system to cover the cost of publishing AND legacy publishers’ obscene profit margins. Our collective capital has power (for now), and putting it towards these agreements will only create a new serials crisis.

    BORDERLINE HEARTBREAKING: The proposed cost to publish open access in Nature £9,500 or $16,000 - imagine what we could do with the science communication side with that money says

    Allowing trans authors to retrospectively change their names on publications is a small policy/practice change with a huge impact. High-fives to the scholarly community for calling for this and to 's to make sure our own journal is on board. 🏳️‍⚧️

    Price transparency is an important step to develop sustainable publishing models. Thanks to leadership, a framework is available for publishers to be more transparent about prices and services. Today shares how this looks for us.

    Since our founding in 2001, PLOS has maintained a firm commitment to transparency. Today we're sharing information about the services we perform, including a percentage breakdown of how these are covered by the prices we charge.

    “Agreements that arrange for paying exorbitant amounts for publishing OA in prestigious jrnls do nothing to improve the accessibility & equitability of the publishing system & merely show everything can be had if you just throw enough money at it” & 👍🔥

    This could apply to many vendors in the research, information, technology and education space that my head spins...

    connecting our ethics to our practice is so much more complicated these days, when so much of our practice depends on vendors' black boxes, and we see such horrible ethics among vendors (e.g. proctorio) (not that we don't do evil too)

    The theme transcends focusing on access to articles bc the community understands the complexities of the larger ecosystem. It's hard to have OA journals due to RPT requirements. The traditional system is entrenched in inequities & exclusion - often due to larger system issues

    A3. I particularly like the "purpose" highlight as so much of the work is very reactive to the status quo vs. proactive for the future (over-generalization sure...). It isn't often to get the space & resources to do this

    Q3 Why is this year’s theme “open with purpose: taking action to build structural equity and inclusion important for ?
