Also very good to see that cOAlition S seeks to "align open access policies with other policies, such as reform of research assessment and researchersʼ careers".
This relates closely to recent initiatives by @sciencecouncil.bsky.social, @asapbio.bsky.social, @dorassessment.bsky.social and @cwts.nl.
