I really enjoyed the “Zine Making & The Radical Possibilities of Publishing” workshop organised by Zoe from @radishpress.bsky.social! Coming from a very traditional academic publisher, this was widely refreshing and eye opening for me! Thanks, Zoe! #Munin2025

Working in the field of #scholcomm means having opportunities to learn something interesting from so many different fields of human activity ✳️ Now, for example, I am learning about drone usage in reindeer husbandry and challenges of related data management 🤔 Wow! @muninconference.bsky.social

"Metadata is something that happens TO researchers, not FOR researchers," says Mike Nason from @pkp.sfu.ca 😆 And yet, without #metadata #scholcomm is not happening 🤷♀️ A to-do for all of us communication professionals to highlight their importance and help researchers handle the difficulties 💪

Thank you @jadrankaos.bsky.social for emphasising the different dimensions of quality in #scholcomm. Quality is not a monolite and cannot be measured by one single metric (e.g. impact factor). Quality is contextual! #pubmet2025

It struck me: Diamond OA is just like that mosaic. Every journal is a precious piece. We don’t need to compete – we need to cooperate. Only together can we build a truly radiant system of scholarly communication. (3/3)

Later, in Brussels’ Arts & History Museum, I stood before a 5th-century mosaic from Apamea. Each piece, unique and beautiful – yet only truly meaningful as part of the whole. (2/3)

At the #DIAMAS Final Conference, Pierre Mounier reminded us that Diamond Open Access is a whole ecosystem – its strength and its challenge. All parts must thrive for the whole to shine. (1/3) #DiamondOA #scholcomm #academicpublishing
