Prof. Demmy. Verbeke explaining that KU Leuven Library has made a stand & spends zero budget on APCs or TAs. Instead, the library invests in nonprofit #openaccess publishing & infrastructure #OASPA2025

Come join our tribe to make a real meaningful difference. We're about action and tangible change, not empty words or the same old meetings.

"In 2021, African ecologists examined 40 top-ranked journals in their field and found that the average fee to publish an article was US$3,150. The study, published in Nature, also revealed that 75% of the journals did not provide any waivers for researchers from LMICs"

Why do National Capacity Centres (NCCs) matter? Because Diamond OA can’t thrive on fragmented infrastructure. NCCs connect, support, and strengthen local publishing systems.

I have an op-ed out today in @resprofnews.bsky.social introducing my new book on the commercialisation of open access publishing.

The top-down approaches in the OS space are pushing researchers away & damaging the movement. It's sad to see organisations that were once community beacons turning to this approach instead. It's a huge mistake. We should work with researchers & evidence - not push them away in favour of opinions
