What are conflicts of interest, and why do they matter? When submitting a journal article, authors are often asked to declare any conflicts of interest (COIs). The term can feel unclear or even intimidating. Our resource explains in clear language. bit.ly/4syM29n

AGREED the Mandy Hill at #OASPA2025 that we should design a publishing system we want rather than trying to adapt what we have. It would be open by default. Certainly the arguments publishers make for why we should pay for OA underpin how dysfunctional their traditional subscription model is.
