Check out this new addition to #OpenAccess Week! A call was launched last week to solicit suggestions for resources related to the theme "The Cost of Knowledge." To ensure all resources are focused on the development of equitable OA, the BOAI20 Recs will be used to measure values alignment.

In two upcoming webinars on October 14, we will present on our updated Guidance on CC Licenses in the Age of AI and how it impacts different sectors like Education, Science and Culture. We will then take questions from the audience and hear about any feedback you might have. buff.ly/Ofo43CY

Our latest webinar, co-organized with the National Council of Rectors of Costa Rica, highlighted that the recent adoption of APCs by some journals in Latin America, has influenced the globalization of publication topics away from local issues and an increase in English-language publishing.

100% agree with these authors who highlight, in @elife.bsky.social "that the Global South’s approach (to OA) offers a blueprint for a fairer, more inclusive, and more just academic publishing ecosystem." elifesciences.org/articles/108...
