#COAR (@coar_repositories) is exactly right about what's wrong with the #ACS and #IEEE demands that their authors pay them a fee for the right to deposit their accepted author manuscripts (#AAMs) in #OpenAccess #repositories […]

Back from #UKSG2025 and I'd like to make a personal thankyou to @rmounce for throwing more weight to my 'Diamond makes things MORE sustainable' not-quite-a-question question in the Diamond sustainability panel. (Though I missed you in the crowds!)

Alright #UKSG25 I've downloaded the Whovia app so anyone who's on Mastodon can find me if you'd like to have a chat about open stuff (or a moan I'm happy to have either!) As I'm aware people see a cactus my 'real' photo is in that app so you actually know what I look like.

Any ideas what sort of open practices are used in Music research? I'm totally out to sea!

Alright science focussed open folks - If you were presenting to a very forward facing group in the sciences what would you highlight for forthcoming innovations/challenges in the sciences (specifically Neuroimaging but general issues welcomed). Not just OA!

Anyone know of a open-source open educational resource creator? I only know paid for options. Even freemium will do!

Trying to come up with days for training in late Jan/Feb but my mind is fudge today. Aside from Friday (a day I do not work) when's best for academics do you think?
