Delighted we can support @ojcollective.bsky.social - driver is to bring more equity into the system to enable OA publishing not only for our authors but also for researchers wherever they are without an APC model putting up barriers.

Tom Morley: embedding diamond #OpenAccess as part of a wider values-led approach allowed Lancaster to embed an open research culture strategy. This also addresses the crisis in HE funding - we must invest in new alternatives now. University leaders need to listen to their libraries on this #UKSG2026

Deeply moving tribute to Elaine Sykes by Andrew Barker at #uksg2026 - every interaction with her meant a brighter day. @uksg.bsky.social

Almost goosebumps to see Sarah Thompson from York University at the @oipassoc.bsky.social panel, talking about how proud they are to support initiatives they judge as in line with their principles. Including so many @copim.bsky.social things 🤩.

Are you working with research outputs that don't quite fit in - often perceived as OTHER - or supporting those who do? Would you like to join an international conversation to improve the infrastructural landscape to better meet the needs of these communities? #Infra4NTRO

The answer to "How could we get you to do more Open Research?" Answer was "You telling us to!" - but also giving permission to do what works in their field Yes! I talk lots about specific guidance being incredibly helpful! #UKSG2025

Heading to #uksg2025 with a slightly later arrival time than intended thanks to trains... Looking forward to seaside and sunshine. Oh, and the conference.

A thoughtful read on the question of what does values-led research assessment actually mean in a global context?

This sounds like a fine suggestion!

Library/info people (worldwide)-do you know of upcoming conferences that I don’t have on the list? Especially with hashtags (& please encourage conference organisers to set one!). There’s been good BlueSky live posting from many events in the last year, it would be great to continue & develop this 📚

Have been chatting to DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) team at UKSG and genuinely didn't know how much work they all do from all around the world and receiving 1000s of applications a year. #UKSG2024

I think we aren't talking anough about the finding that many articles that would have been green are being published in hybrid journals instead. So, the articles would have been open largely for free, but now we're paying for it instead #UKSG2024

SCELC consortium www.scelc.org talking about challenges of data across sources for analysing transformative agreements. Identifying corresponding author and publisher (eg over 20 imprints/names for Springer in Scopus) is just the start #UKSG2024

Packed room at #UKSG2024 breakout session on transformative agreement future. I imagine all sessions on that topic will be packed...

Daniel Hook: there is the version of record and there is the version of esteem. Such a brilliant analysis of where we’re at with research right now. #UKSG2024

Ruth Harrison @ruthejh.bsky.social · 08/04/2024

Emphasis on citations as value (actual and as proxy) has negative impact on publication volume and therefore retractions - encourages poor practice. #UKSG2024

Ruth Harrison @ruthejh.bsky.social · 08/04/2024

Daniel Hook making point that there is huge publishing volume, challenging trust in research practice #UKSG2024 I'd love to see less publishing, but investment in high quality review, data sharing, reproducibility, transparency.
