Susanne van Rijn from Erasmus University Library @erasmusuniversity.bsky.social - project leader Strengthening diamond open access in the Netherlands
"We first had to define diamond open access. non-profit + no reading fee + no publishing fee + promoting bibliodiversity"
Just de Leeuwe from @tudelftlibrary.bsky.social representing Dutch University Presses nups.nl
"NUPs are publishing over a 1000+ journal articles, books, text books, lectures, dissertations. We can be proud of the production so far."

#horizondiamond2026
Jan-Willem Wijnen introducing @openjournalsnl.bsky.social

Ending slide from Mark Hanson's @hansonmark.bsky.social excellent talk at #horizondiamond2026 with qr to the main papers strain, drain, and PISS paper.
He also concludes "Funders can make diamond competitive".

"Diamond is PART of this solution... Collective action by researchers is not the solution. When funders make rules we follow them, when funders say jump, we say how high?"
What a fabulous keynote by @markhanson.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gy for the start of the conference #horizondiamond2026

@markhanson.fediscience.org.ap.brid.gy on the drain and strain of publishging: "After plan S and gold open access, journals changed their business model... Now your marketing to the authors not the readers, incentivizing volume rather than quality"
