"For Researchers in the Humanities, Is Open Really Fair?"
https://katinamagazine.org/content/article/open-knowledge/2025/for-researchers-in-the-humanities-is-open-really-fair
PS: This article objects to #APCs and "transformative" (#ReadAndPublish) agreements, especially in the humanities. So far, so good. But then it leaves the false impression that all or most #OpenAccess falls into those two categories, which is false and harmful. It never mentions #GreenOA. It mentions #DiamondOA once, for books, and never for articles. It's strong on problems and very weak and even misleading on solutions.
I share the objections to APCs and read-and-publish agreements. I wrote stronger versions of them, extended to all disciplines, for the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement.
https://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/boai20/
I'm in the humanities and (with the exception of one 1999 book) have made all my books and articles OA. I've never paid an APC and never will. I boycott APC-based publishers both as an author and referee and encourage others to do so.
Scholars in the humanities need accurate info about their OA options, not one-sided criticism of OA as such.
4/ Not a credit student? Not a problem! These courses are not just for MPub students — they are for anyone involved in or interested in open publishing.
Learn from anywhere and complete the weekly course content remotely when it fits your schedule!

Lyrasis, Big Ten Academic Alliance Libraries, and California Digital Library Receive Grant to Advance Diamond Open Access in the United States
great to see this work happening
Great to see the society journal 'European Societies' moving away from Taylor & Francis and now being published with MIT Press under a diamond open access model (no paywall for readers and no fees for authors either)

I wonder when it will get listed in @DOAJ , maybe from 2026?
The American Medical Association (#AMA) just killed off its #OpenAccess _Journal of Ethics_.
Here's the uninformative good-bye editorial.
https://journalofethics.ama-assn.org/article/breaking-bad-news/2025-11
Here's a somewhat more informative news story about it.
https://www.medpagetoday.com/opinion/second-opinions/118526
Neither piece tells us why the AMA came to this decision.
I'm glad to see the launch of the Scottish Journal of Open Research. Here's the inaugural issue.

Oxford and Harvard libraries now publishing their own diamond open access journals. Love it. ❤️
Paying hundreds of millions to big commercial publishers isn't the only way of supporting researchers to publish their research.
