Proud to be repping some @openlibhums.org merch this Hallowe’en! I’m a huge advocate for what @theblochian.bsky.social & the whole team do to sustainably grow Diamond Open Access academic publishing. P.s. commercial publishers really are eating your journal’s brains! Let’s keep horror in fiction 🧟‍♂️

It’s spooky season… 🧟‍♂️ Don’t feed the zombies. Support diamond open access! The zombie poster is back! #DiamondOA #OpenAccess #Halloween

It's open access week! We, at @kcommons.bsky.social, are running a webinar later this week, showcasing what we do and what we have! Do please come join us... msu.zoom.us/meeting/regi... #oaweek25 #oaweek2025 #openaccessweek

This week is pretty special for us at @openlibhums.org. It's #OAWeek & also 10 years since we launched as a publisher! As my brilliant colleague Dr Rose Harris-Birtill writes in her Editorial, academics must speak up with "radical hope and courage": olh.openlibhums.org/article/id/2... #OAWeek25

This year's #OAweek theme "Who owns our knowledge?" resonates strongly with me. Working with the OLH reminds me every day why scholar-led, diamond open access publishing matters.

Excited to have @theblochian.bsky.social and @paulaclemente.bsky.social from @openlibhums.org up now at the OIPA symposium presenting on diamond #OpenAccess and equitable publishing. (And zombies!) OLH is supported by funding from 340+ libraries 💪 #OAWeek #AcademicPublishing #OpenSource

The OIPA symposium is about to begin! oipauk.org/news-events-... ⚡️ If you are unable to join us today, we’ll be posting summaries of the lightning talks in the next few weeks!

The first issue of Theory & Social Inquiry is out via @openlibhums.bsky.social! Successor to Springer’s Theory & Society, the journal is now #DiamondOA / no APCs, no paywalls. Scholar-led & free from commercialisation, at a time when academic freedom needs defending: www.openlibhums.org/news/844/

Over a year ago, the editorial board of the Journal of Political Philosophy (Wiley) resigned in protest. They launched Political Philosophy, a non-profit, #diamondOA journal now published by OLH. The Wiley journal is now ending. Another reason to ask your institution to support OLH
