In the JEP issue I put together awhile back, I was lucky enough to edit an early essay by Tavella and Spiegelhofer about this work. It's so beautiful to see their work continue to grow, and in partnership with such an exciting new press. I love everything about it bsky.app/profile/jepu...

Based on interviews w/ anthropologists involved in several data sharing & intermediate publishing initiatives, we pointed to interpretive generativity as an underlying objective (as opposed to reproducibility). Related but not the same as contestation. journals.publishing.umich.edu/jep/article/...

That’s more defensible & actually sets up productive conversations. For instance, @jepub.bsky.social is a vital venue for RoR-adjacent research, which is a publisher-supported DOA journal. In what ways does it solve (or not) percieved issues w/ DOA (like limiting the labor required from editors)?

This article is fabulous. I also offer that OA that does not use its alterity to challenge the roots of scholarly publishing's archic rational - i.e. is within the call to and principles of being governed from above - is likely to fail to meet calls for participation w/in the archic paradigm.
