Bibliodiversity for life might be my new motto 👍
I'm a huge proponent of green open access, but diamond journals are fantastic, too! Nice to get a mention in this article about why we shouldn't sleep on free-to-publish open-access journals! Bibliodiversity for life!
💎 Diamond is the new Green 🟢

💎 Building a global future for Diamond Open Access!
We’re at the 3rd Global Summit on #DiamondOA in Bengaluru this week and our very own Co-Coordinator @johanrooryck.bsky.social is on the ground discussing equitable, community-driven publishing. Come talk to us and grab your #EDCH sticker!
Fantastic closing reflection on the 3rd #DiamondOA Summit from Ariana Bacerril-Garcia:
Knowledge as a commons is the only way forward and it’s a political decision, not technical or economic.
Commons is not cost-free and those benefiting from it need to assume responsibility for contributing to it
Pleased to be able to present at the Global Summit on #DiamondOA (Bengaluru, India) 🇮🇳

Less is more. This aphorism is constantly on my mind. The scientific publication system is under tremendous strain, the last thing it needs is a massive dump of LLM generated/aided papers. If you love science, then show it some love. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
PKP is excited for the 3rd Global Summit on #DiamondOpenAccess coming up February 2 - 6, India
Looking forward to connecting with folks from @doaj.bsky.social, @orcid.org, @crossref.bsky.social, @scielo.org, @operaseu.bsky.social, @unesco.org and so many more!
