Really glad that my colleagues at @thoth-metadata.bsky.social are finalists for the ALPSP innovation award - it's well deserved! Thoth's infrastructure is foundational. After all, increasing the amount of scholarship published openly is only useful if they are findable!

“Who Owns Our Knowledge?” is the theme for this year’s International Open Access Week. The 2025 theme asks a pointed question about the present moment and how, in a time of disruption, communities can reassert control over the knowledge they produce #OAweek www.openaccessweek.org/theme
