In seiner Keynote weist Maximilian Steinbeis @maxsteinbeis darauf hin, dass Populismus auf dem Vormarsch ist und v. a. Wissensorganisationen im Fadenkreuz sind. Ziel ist es, diese Organisationen zu unterwerfen und sie zu einem Instrument zur Bestätigung totalitärer Bestrebungen zu machen.
Darum gilt es den Raum der Wissenschaft offen zu halten. Open Access ist in diesem Zusammenhang konstitutiv, weshalb @verfassungsblog Diamond Open Access ist. #vBIB #vBIB25 #OA

The report provides INSIGHT into
🌟 How librarians understand collective funding models
🌟 Their ability to become involved in them
🌟 An analysis of existing research on collective funding models
🌟 A profile of each country’s current open access publishing context

KEY FINDINGS 🗝️
There is a strong commitment to the idea of an #OA knowledge commons from librarians and researchers in many contexts across Europe as trust in OA initiatives has been eroded by corporate buyouts

The pandemic didn't just increase the use of #OpenAccess research in medicine, including #preprints. It also increased the impact of research about #OA and #ScholComm.
"The pandemic provided a substantial boost to the impact of research [as measured by field-weighted citation impact or #FWCI] related to information seeking and scholarly communication. This may be largely driven by an increased need for accessible information, marking a significant shift in academic priorities after the global crisis."

Good new open access book out: '**Publishing Beyond the Market: Open Access, Care, and the Commons'** argues that the move to open access should focus less on the free accessibility of research outputs and more on who controls the publications and infrastructures for scholarly communication...

Zwei Drittel aller #Wissenschaftsblogs in Deutschland kommen aus den Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften. Nur etwa ein Drittel der Blogs sind bei der #DNB katalogisiert. (Und die de.hypo-Blogs sind bei beiden überrepräsentiert...)
Diese und andere spannende Erkenntnisse nehmen wir mit aus dem #OA Beitrag von @Catharina_Ochsner & Co, die die #WissBlog Landschaft in Deutschland kartiert & Best Practices aufgestellt hat 👇

Happy Halloween, punks! Let's all take a moment to remember the year I made my confused husband dress up as a paywall so I could be Open Access Hero.
