Powerful @ifla_libpub #WLIC2023 open session with superb presentations from Eelco Ferwerda Jill Claassen UCT Libraries Fiona & Grace Liu exploring opportunities and challenges, the African Continental Publishing Platform & IFLA's Global Publishing Map: lib-pub.org


Superb slide from Eelco Ferwerda's presentation at @ifla_libpub's #WLIC2023 open session containing a SWOT re the strengths, challenges threats & opportunities of #librarypublishing. Strengths include favored diamond OA publishing approaches. Funding and increased staffing required.

Looking forward to National Open Science Festival NL and catch up on all #openscience developments in the NL. We host 30 #diamondOA journals, free to read, free to publish in. We work with academics to set up new journals or migrate existing journals to our platform. Meet us at the marketplace.




Sometimes, there are projects you are exceptionally emotional and proud about. For me, this is the oabooksnetwork (not posting here anymore). We are turning 3! Cheers to my brilliant co-coordinators!



This week is #peerreviewweek and we wanted to share with you all about our Peer Review Information Service for Monographs (PRISM) in this new blog post: doabooks.org/blog/?link=htt… #DOABPRISM #oabooks PeerReviewWeek


Really important point from @emmabooth.bsky.social about supporting community-led, open infrastructure to support open scholarly publishing: support doesn't have to be only financial! #OAbooks #OpenAccess
