Many of the problems of open access have been caused by funding organisations providing APC money that goes straight to the publishing industry. It's very optimistic to expect that the same (neoliberal) funders will want to prevent researchers from publishing in for-profit journals.

I always find Dave's newsletters valuable and as someone who studies peer review (though from the perspective of the past) this was thought-provoking. I think he's absolutely right that modern peer review has not been in a stable equilibrium. It's had a serious labor problem for a while now.

Excellent point by @morphss.bsky.social 's @jenniad.bsky.social at #OxFos26 yesterday: how can we uplift the epistemic status and institutional support for a whole hemisphere of openness? Which open research practices are actively promoted in actions, not only in discourse, and which are not?
It also seems like many publishers are no longer asking for alternative reviewer suggestions, which is probably an anti-fraud measure that will do nothing whatsoever except further diminish the role of journal as knowledge community.
A lot of people submitting articles at the moment. Four review requests in three days.

The main problem is that there isnβt anything even close to an easy fix for this situation.

"A multitude of nuanced forms of openness have long been practiced within the arts, humanities and social sciences without necessarily being termed βopen researchβ."
Adams, Barnes, Moore & Pinfield explore the broad range of #openresearch practices in the #AHSS.

Absolute textbook BBC article. They report on a councillor posting a fake image and then go out of their way to give him a platform to spout his hate.

@sabinaleonelli.bsky.social discussing what science more generally can learn from open AHSS research practices in terms of situated, reflexive approaches to open research... especially crucial in the context of AI's impact on approaches to open/research.

(Talk at Oxford Forum of Open Scholarship, I should have said!)
Really enjoying @sabinaleonelli.bsky.social's talk on open science and AI. Open science needs to go beyond mere sharing of resources to instead focus on the "conditions that make research elements meaningful for users"

CC Signals from Creative Commons really shows how little power individuals have in the face of AI extraction. The 'commons' has to be conceived as more than the sum of individual creator rights (which was always the problem with CC licences).
A broader vision of open research is needed to include the arts, humanities and social sciences.

So pleased to see Siddarth Soni referencing Brian Friel in his discussion of the commons and data colonialism. Absolutely fascinating keynote at #CopimConference
Yvette Cooper is this close to proscribing the Green Party as a terrorist organisation.
π‘ what a helpful articulation of the diversity of open research practices beyond open data!
"Openness in AHSS occurs in practices like experimental publishing, participatory research methods, and public scholarship"
This is thought-provoking - talks about how openness in arts, hums and soc sci should be viewed as occurring 'in practices like experimental publishing, participatory research methods, and public scholarship', i.e. not just about OA publication or data.
