The major academic publishers have made collection and trading of data about the research interests of individuals, groups and research institutions their new business model.
Science Europe, cOAlition S, OPERAS, and the French National Research Agency (ANR) present this Action Plan to further develop and expand a sustainable, community-driven Diamond OA scholarly communication ecosystem. It proposes to align and develop common resources for the entire Diamond OA ecosystem, including journals and platforms, while respecting the cultural, multilingual, and disciplinary diversity that constitutes the strength of the sector.
Today, we publish two papers on Open Access (OA), a first one on successful OA implementation and a second one on OA for conference proceedings in engineering disciplines. On top of that, our association endorses the Action Plan for Diamond Open Access.
OPERAS is the Research Infrastructure supporting open scholarly communication in the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in the European Research Area.
