📣CHAOS IS COMING FOR SCHOLARLY PUBLISHING 📣

Watch out, there are radical publishing models about!

@theblochian.bsky.social's latest article on "working together to move to a non-profit, community-governed publishing system" is a vital read, especially in these uncertain times.
Universities want new business models, not just discounts.

As @theblochian.bsky.social (OLH Exec. Director) writes: Together we can move our university funding away from obscene commercial extractivists and back into scholar-led non-profit models
