There is pressing need for more accurate climate models to be able to predict future climate change. Ilona Riipinen takes a new step toward refining climate models based on observations & experiments from recent decades. @kawresearch.bsky.social @bolincentre.bsky.social

Text reads, What are Conflicts of Interest? Picture of a magnifying glass over question marks.
What are conflicts of interest, and why do they matter? When submitting a journal article, authors are often asked to declare any conflicts of interest (COIs). The term can feel unclear or even intimidating. Our resource explains in clear language. bit.ly/4syM29n
We are very pleased to be able to announce that OBC and @ojcollective.bsky.social have signed a Memorandum of Understanding, committing to work together to achieve a sustainable, open access future, for both books and journals obc.copim.pub/collaboratin...
💰 The Price of “Free” in Open Access
How well do we actually understand the real costs behind #DiamondOA?
A discussion on the EDCH Forum highlights a new research initiative, exploring hidden costs in OA publishing in Poland.

I'm representing Stockholm University and the Swedish Node for Diamond Open Access in this new and promising project. I'm looking forward to contributing, especially to developing more tools for #OAbooks . #DiamondOA
Wish I could be there, but thank you so much for providing the opportunity to attend online! Online feed is looking great so far. 🔓📚💪
🎉 We're absolutely thrilled to be welcoming our first member of staff at the Open Journals Collective today - Thomas Shaw joins us as Library Engagement Lead and will be designing and implementing our library engagement strategy. 🎉
Welcome Tom! 🎉

Helping authors choose trusted journals matters — and publishers play a key role. Many researchers find Think. Check. Submit. thanks to the links and guidance shared by publishers.
And if you’d like a TCS speaker for a webinar or content for your newsletter, we’re always happy to collaborate.
I can see the outline of the article already in my head. Consider it half-written! 😂
Over 9 weeks, we shared 7 policy actions to advance Diamond Open Access.
They’re not just ideas — they’re actionable, interlinked, and built on real challenges.

If you'd like to catch up with the @oaaustralasia.bsky.social #OpenAccessWeek event on Community Ownership the recording is now available: youtu.be/bdNdkWG-uCg?... I was honoured to speak alongside Dr. Kiri West (Māori Data Sovereignty Network) &
Dr. Alice McSherry (Waiheke Marine Project).
Clear as mud! 😅
Yes, a recording is in the making and the slides are usually shared if the presenter allows. These are, for example, the results of last year’s conference www.oaspa.org/events/oaspa...
Valuable overview shared by Dagmar Meyer.
Spoiler alert: this is only the first elephant we see at #OASPA2025 today… (wait for Malavika’s session later!)
Adding to the conversation at #OASPA2025 about what we can do to change the current research assessment system. We should collect good examples, like the University of Sorbonne, which is using open data for analysis and invest in open infrastructures, see www.sorbonne-universite.fr/en/news/sorb...
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow!
AGREED the Mandy Hill at #OASPA2025 that we should design a publishing system we want rather than trying to adapt what we have. It would be open by default. Certainly the arguments publishers make for why we should pay for OA underpin how dysfunctional their traditional subscription model is.
POSTERS session at #OASPA2025 - a good set of work being described here. Posters are available www.oaspa.org/wp-content/u...
The devil is in the (information) details?
URGENCY - from Stefano Bertuzzi at #OASPA2025 noting we are "living a terrible crisis where we have a breakdown in the shared methods that determine the truth".
Again this invokes Merton's Norms of Science - Communism, Universalism, Disinterestedness & Organized Skepticism. We need re-evaluation
A slide with the OASPA logo in-between two stained glass windows.
Enjoying being at #OASPA2025 listening to a strong panel on the topic of ownership of knowledge (wish you could all be here to hear it). While struck of the (probably inadvertent) matching of the @oaspa.bsky.social logo with the beautiful stained glass windows at the Irish College here in Leuven.
Prof. Demmy. Verbeke explaining that KU Leuven Library has made a stand & spends zero budget on APCs or TAs. Instead, the library invests in nonprofit #openaccess publishing & infrastructure #OASPA2025
Thanks for the feedback! 😃
Yesterday was a whirlwind at #LIBER2025 but we managed to close the day with a workshop on monitoring of #openscience I’m privileged to be working with such great colleagues in the #openaccess working group as Andrea, Ivana, Alicia and @osiegert.bsky.social Thank you!
