CEO, which is a different role to the Chief Librarian.

This will be one to watch. At unimelb we made the decision to fund Verfassungsblog because it was important to our Law academics. There needs to be space for all types of scholarly works. Perhaps DOAJ could explore more tags to differentiate publishing venues.

"The RLF, which is more budget-friendly to an author’s grant or funder than a traditional APC, helps subsidize publishing services" - isn't that what the subscription charge is for? It pays for the cost of publishing paywalled content!

Wow, I'd missed IEEE joining the ranks of publishers finding a way to obstruct the work of a rights retention statement. I liked "The RLF, which is more budget-friendly to an author’s grant or funder than a traditional APC, helps subsidize publishing services" - HELLO you get subs fees!!!

Nothing but love for a values driven collection development and management policy. It is wonderful to hear that teaching focused universities are also investing in open infrastructures. Great spotlight @jisc.bsky.social !

Kathleen Shearer: the Paper Pledge for the Planet update | Open Access Australasia

Very much looking forward to hearing from Kathleen Shearer tomorrow on Paper Pledge for the Planet, a global initiative to make climate change research open access. There is still time to register for the webinar. oaaustralasia.org/events/kathl...

'Upon accepting NIH funding, recipients grant to NIH the right to make Author Accepted Manuscripts resulting from the funding publicly available in PubMed Central upon the Official Date of Publication'

Rights retention baked into the new US federal OA policy.

Looking forward to it!

Letter: The Rising Shift to Open Access Journals in... : Neurosurgery An abstract is unavailable.

Interesting letter noting that three major neurosurgery journals are flipping to open access next year. It'd be an interesting case study to look at the impact of journal flips on various disciplines. #OpenAccess #ScholarlyPublishing journals.lww.com/neurosurgery...

Official launch next week at AIMOS (21/11 9:00AEDT) AND you can attend virtually for free. Great to see another publishing initiative set to challenge the status quo.

My favourite read last week. I've been talking to everyone I can about it. Still processing the mix of passion and anger it inspired. #libraries #DigitalPreservation
