CEU Press were the first press to take a chance on a new OA model in 2021 and they, and the member libraries, have made such a success of it since 😍

Thanks Christoph, yes sorry I meant if you knew why the OA version had gone. Have a copy of the T&F corporate explanation on the acquisition already, but thanks!

@christophsorg.bsky.social are you able to share any details on this, how you found out, why it happened etc? My colleagues and I at @copim.bsky.social are very interested in developments like this in schol comms, including researching an article on T&F's takeover of AUP.

I wonder what happened here then? Did T&F pull the plug on the official OA version? If so, how is that possible and for what reasons?

Great article/primer on unintended consequences of the clumsy new 'online safety legislation'. What a clusterfuck.

This is the no-fee open-access model for books I designed and worked on with @scholtom.bsky.social -- real-world impact from authors who benefited from it.

Can't repost this enough. A very misleading headline to a very clear message in the content of the article: OA is not the problem, big publishers and APCs & TAs are the problem.
17.07.2025 11:18 — 👍 4 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0
but the headline is very frustrating: making it sound like OA is the problem whereas the article does a good job of explaining that it's the publishers and their APC & transformative agreement models that are the problem

Yeah this is great to see it written out like this "Any hope that [universities are] going to pay more into a publishing system… looks extractive" 🔥🙌

It will be great when we finally democratise higher education governance and we'll look back on this strange period where people from business were given control of our universities and then ran them into the ground.

Your snippets are always useful, thanks! Still struggle to see how this kind of revenue year on year can be sustainable for HEIs. At some point, their budgets surely can't keep feeding the hungry mouths of the big beasts?

Really excited about this one! Both @scholtom.bsky.social and myself are really looking forward to working with MSU Press on this. We're happy to facilitate them to publish more of their African Studies titles open access 😀
