Science needs to be ready for the censorship and chilling of scholarly research. That means a global rejection of large intermediaries getting between researchers and the public. #OAWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/science-must-decentralize

Publishers need to learn that when they don't work with researchers to do the right thing, scholars find their own solutions—legal or otherwise. #OAWeek https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/civil-disobedience-copyright-keeps-science-going
During this #OAWeek, consider publishing your next archaeology paper in a diamond open access journal.
If you're unsure where to start, check out https://diamond.open-archaeo.info for a list of several dozen diamond open access archaeology journals and some additional information about OA and why it's so great!
As we close out our celebration of #OAWeek, it's a perfect time to reflect on the infrastructure that supports open research.
#ORCID is proud to be a part of that foundation. Our annual Public Data File release is just one of our commitments to openness to empower the community with data and transparency.

Should publishers charge authors fees for exercising a right they already have?
Here’s why the new fees from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the American Chemical Society (ACS) miss the mark - and what could replace them.

🌍 Who really owns the knowledge we create? 🔓 For Open Access Week 2025, let’s reflect on what it means to take back ownership of research and how it’s shared.
Earlier this year, our Von “DEAL” zu “Diamond” symposium discussed how universities can move beyond commercial publishing models toward community-driven, non-profit systems. Two key approaches stood out:
💎 Diamond Open Access (OA): A community-driven model where publishing is free for both authors and readers. It’s supported by institutions rather than profit-based publishers.
🌐 Peer Community In (PCI): A non-commercial platform for open peer review and publication recommendation, allowing scholars to share and evaluate research transparently and collaboratively.
The conversations highlighted a key message: true openness in science isn’t only about access — it’s about autonomy, equity, and ensuring that knowledge serves the common good. 📚

#OpenAccess #OAWeek #WhoOwnsOurKnowledge #OpenResearch #OpenScience
🌍 Under the theme “Who Owns Our Knowledge?” for Open Access Week 2025 🔓, we’re spotlighting two initiatives reshaping how knowledge is shared and evaluated: CoARA and OpenAlex.
🧭 CoARA (Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment): A global movement that promotes fairer research evaluation by recognizing diverse contributions and focusing on qualitative assessment over irresponsible use of metrics. In line with these principles, the Research Quality Evaluation (RESQUE) framework (https://www.resque.info/) offers practical tools and indicators for assessing research quality responsibly. It emphasizes the use of indicators for rigorous and reproducible science and offers user-friendly tools that enhance hiring and tenure decision-making processes. One of the coordinators of the RESQUE framework is our managing director, Felix Schönbrodt ( @nicebread)!
🔎 OpenAlex: An open, comprehensive index of the world’s research. It works by providing a database of research outputs which includes information like authors, affiliations, and citations, without paywalls. Based on OpenAlex, the LMU Open Science Center creates a bibliography of open science work from our members and maps the network of connections across our Open Science community: https://www.resources.osc.lmu.de/bibliography/.
By embracing initiatives like CoARA and OpenAlex, we move closer to a research culture where openness, equity, and integrity define how knowledge is created and shared. 💡
