🎈EIFL's #openaccess programme turns 20 this year! #EIFLOA20 Peter Suber (@[email protected]) Iryna Kuchma

ACS introduces 'Article Development Charge'. Pay $2,500 for right to post accepted manuscript OA w/ zero embargo (VoR remains paywalled). In UK/Europe, some funders/unis are telling scientists to insist on this for free, as their right (via RRS)! acs.org/pressroom/news…

Thanks. Also see the book home page with more than 800 updates and supplements. bit.ly/oa-book #OpenAccess #OAWeek

It is with great sadness that I have to resign as eLife - the journal editor and early-career advisor after Michael Eisen was fired as editor-in-chief for making use of his freedom of speech to stand up – once again – for the people who were silenced. A brief statement here:

I stand with Mike. eLife - the journal made a great move to hire him and support his creative reforms. It made a huge mistake to fire him.

Thanks, Alexander. For everyone else, he's quoting from my 2012 book (bit.ly/oa-book, The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social). You can see the passage in context at p. 203, for example in this PDF of the OA edition. ia803203.us.archive.org/18/items/97802…

This is a periodic reminder that I post much more to #Mastodon than #X / #Twitter these days. fediscience.org/@petersuber If you work in #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #ScholComm or related areas, do join us on #Mastodon. Posts on these topics get far more engagement there than here.

NEW! Rick Wilson has a message for the media. You couldn't stop talking about Joe Biden's age. Are you going to start covering Donald Trump's failing cognition, insanity, psychosis, senility, lies, flubs, etc.? Be fair. America is watching.

My friend Peter Suber (@[email protected]) has put together a handful of quotes from John #Dewey about the nature of a "#public," if only to remind us that our ideas have histories. Dewey doesn't think of publics in terms of communications, as tend to these days. Interesting! suber.pubpub.org/pub/nnpkmt91/r…

Wild how Peter Suber (@[email protected])'s "unbinding" concept fell off my radar. Glad to see it recirculating. Proposes for journals to retroactively flip articles open when selected as one of the 500 most important articles on a subject by a "credible bibliographer". 1/ dash.harvard.edu/bitstream/hand…

The public needs to know now more than ever that U.S. National Archives has qualified leadership. If it doesn't, it will only make it easier for other government agencies to keep too many secrets. freedom.press/the-classified…
