Comic-style poster warning that commercial publishers are “eating your journal’s brains,” promoting the Open Library of Humanities.

It’s spooky season… 🧟‍♂️
Don’t feed the zombies. Support diamond open access!

the costs that the academic publishing industry extract out of universities are not sustainable and present a substantial barrier to publication for precarious colleagues (and, in the future the govt is making, colleagues at smaller/less well-off institutions)

#oaweek25 #oaweek2025 #openaccessweek

This week is pretty special for us at @openlibhums.org. It's #OAWeek & also 10 years since we launched as a publisher! As my brilliant colleague Dr Rose Harris-Birtill writes in her Editorial, academics must speak up with "radical hope and courage": olh.openlibhums.org/article/id/2... #OAWeek25

This year's #OAweek theme "Who owns our knowledge?" resonates strongly with me. Working with the OLH reminds me every day why scholar-led, diamond open access publishing matters.

Excited to have @theblochian.bsky.social and @paulaclemente.bsky.social from @openlibhums.org up now at the OIPA symposium presenting on diamond #OpenAccess and equitable publishing. (And zombies!)

OLH is supported by funding from 340+ libraries 💪

ANÁLISIS | Fase dos del genocidio israelí: ocupación del 53% de Gaza, asesinatos, segregación y línea amarilla

Por Olga Rodríguez

Israel has violated ceasefire 47 times and killed 38 Palestinians, says Gaza media office Authorities urge UN to intervene ‘to protect unarmed civilian populations’ after attack on bus that killed 11

In any case, it is worth remembering that since the ceasefire deal entered into force, Israel has killed dozens of Palestinians. In case you wonder who might be responding to what. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Graphic of TheHythe Review logo, Open Library of Humanities logo and the87press puzzle logo. With text in the middle reading: Introducing The Hythe Review a collaboration with Open Library of Humanities & the87press. Issue 1 forthcoming March 2026

Two quotes reading: "I’m excited to be part of The Hythe Review, an open-access journal that hopes to shape not just what we read but also how and why - with an ethic of care, critical rigour, and collectivity at its heart. I deeply look forward to supporting and being shaped by the many brilliant writers whose work will find a home here." -Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Poetry and Reviews Editor. "I'm delighted to work with the Hythe Review to publish critical and creative radical writing that speaks with and through the current conjuncture." -Dr. Abeera Khan (SOAS), Non-Fiction Editor

Two quotes reading: “Working together, the OLH and the87press can begin the difficult task of tackling entrenched inequalities in the under-representation of marginalised writers in publishing.” - Professor Caroline Edwards, OLH Executive Director. “The Hythe Review will build laterally, fostering a space for critical dialogue which will improve the reception and accessibility of poetry in the UK whilst also shining the light on non-fiction publications that mobilise critical insights gleaned from our global and local contexts.” - Azad Ashim Sharma, The87press Founding Director

We’re thrilled to announce that the OLH (@openlibhums.org) is partnering with award-winning poetry publisher the87press to relaunch its flagship poetry journal The Hythe Review.
