The €6M vs €100M gap isn’t just a funding story. It’s a priorities story. Open infrastructure powers Diamond OA for everyone. Temporary access keeps research available for some. That’s a choice worth making intentionally. scoss.org/the-6-vs-100-million-oa-question/

SCOSS @scossfunding.bsky.social · 27/05/2026
Diamond OA doesn't run on goodwill alone. It runs on infrastructure. 12 SCOSS-endorsed are part of the operational backbone that allows Diamond OA to function at scale. Diamond OA. Free for authors. Free for readers. Not free to run. scoss.org/the-6-vs-100...

SCOSS @scossfunding.bsky.social · 26/05/2026
What if the global backbone of Diamond OA cost less than your country's journal access bill? For many, it does. €6M runs 12 infras, worldwide annually. 1 country can spend €100M+ on in-country access only. Invest in shared infrastructure, not temporary access 🔗 scoss.org/the-6-vs-100...
