We are grateful to US Rep. Zoe Lofgren @lofgren.house.gov for recognizing SPARC as "thoughtful advocates of open access" & entering our letter into the Congressional Record. Our core message: #OpenAccess is a remedy for publishing dysfunction — not its cause. Read here: sparcopen.org/wp-content/u...

Great @archive.org talk btw @samuelmoore.org + @hjoseph.bsky.social abt reimagining open-access through small, sustainable, scholar-led publishing (Heather reminds us that the commercial academic journal publishing market is an $11B industry, w/ 20-40% profit margins "because of the free labor")

One important motivation for open access was the lack of transparency from publishers around subscription prices, but it sounds like they're being just as opaque with APCs. This is a really helpful piece of work showing the huge sums paid to commercial publishers in APCs.
