!!! From "Big Deals" to #OpenScience !!!
The Université de Lorraine cancelled Springer (2017) & Wiley (2023) – and reinvests the savings in Open Science.
€500,000 is spent annually on infrastructures, support services and scholar-led Diamond OA – guided by a broad, representative committee.

Thank you, @flavoursofopen@hcommons.social ,
for sharing your thoughts on different meanings of Community- / Academic- / Scholar-led publishing in English and German contexts. I will certainly bear this in mind this when trying to translate activities taking place in various linguistic and institutional contexts into my native Norwegian context.
How to make podcasts part of the scholarly record?
Using Open Journal Systems (OJS) for a podcast series --
Personal experiences from the host of Open Science Talk --
Et universitet i Frankrike viser vei. Penger de tidligere betalte til storforlaget Wiley, brukes nå på ulike tiltak for å styrke åpen vitenskap, deriblant støtte til tidsskrifter som utgis med Diamant åpen tilgang. Noe å tenke på, også i Norge?

My latest publication, on the benefits of #openscience to researchers in the #humanities
(Ironically, I submitted this to a journal that is not #openaccess by default. LOGOS, the journal of the world publishing community does, however, authorize authors to share their papers immediately in #greenopenaccess via their institutional repository, which I did.)
R.I.P. THOMAS HYLLAND ERIKSEN (1962–2024)
I recommend this podcast interview, recorded in Budapest on 27 April 2019.
At breathtaking speed, the late anthropologist shares his inspiring perspectives on everything from social theory to gardening, predicting who the next Norwegian prime minister will be and giving his Hungarian interlocutor a lesson in Hungarian history along the way.
"It's diversity that makes us human and it's important to build bridges"
The editors of Philosophy & Public Affairs (a journal founded at Princeton University in 1972) have broken ties with Wiley.
Instead they are launching a non-commercial, fully diamond open access journal to be hosted at the Open Library of Humanities.
