👂We hear that recognising & opening up #research outputs beyond #research articles has come up multiple times at #OASPA2025. 🫣We suspect there are those not yet aware of our #openscience #journal: optimising #scholarly #communication for research ideas, grant proposals, guidelines etc. 👇See more:

To sum up some of the feelings in the panel of OA APC based publishers: all are struggling to get support from funders and libraries to push through barriers, feels like you are being penalised for getting their first. - Catriona MacCallum #OASPA2025

👏 Day 1 at #OASPA2025: it's great to catch up with the 'hot' topics in the #OA community! Here's our take at @pensoft.net, as an #openaccess -born publisher with its own technology, on how #scholarlypublishing can support OA #journals whatever their situation: Cc: @oaspa.bsky.social

This guy is looking down at us all over my shoulder. Wondering who this is, in the context of the conversations at #OASPA2025. Monopolistic commercial publishing practices? LLM-based exploitation of open content? Higher education meltdown and rising censorship? Caffeine overload?
