#AcademicJournal metadata... an important topic when you're trying to collect all the #DiamondOA journals in Europe (ddh.diamas.org) because only certain journals qualify. But how to access the specific metadata we need? This need led to JMEF. And this paper explains: zenodo.org/records/1740...

#OAT25 My take fr Gabriele Spilker‘s talk of two conflicting dynamics in inequalities, self-enforcing and self-correcting feedback circles. It reminds me of transformative agreements that bring new inequalities (and problems) and #DiamondOpenAccess as an attempt to enforce self-correcting systems.

Fully agree with Rebecca Lawrence that "the research assessment ecosystem hinders innovative publication models that address our biggest problems in research". The other way around, I would argue that a failure to innovate scientific publishing also hinders reform of research assessment.

How to facilitate meaningful scholarly dialogue is a key challenge for the scientific publishing system going forward. Addressing this challenge needs to be accompanied by assessment reform, moving away from current practice of giving special status to peer-reviewed outputs relative to other work.

The latest from #UKSGInsights: Pierre Mounier and Johan Rooryck "Federating diamond OA in Europe and beyond: the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH)" dub.sh/hpNatCZ

This case study presents the context, governance and operations of the European Diamond Capacity Hub (EDCH) launched in January 2025. The EDCH will coordinate diamond open access (OA) capacity centres in Europe and consolidate and align the diamond OA organizations that provide services and tools to diamond OA outputs in Europe. In this way, it will provide the backbone for a scholarly communication infrastructure that is owned and operated by the academic community without charges for authors and readers.
