@jomla Lacking context here, but I continue to think #OpenAccess is absolutely great!

The problem is that #GoldOA / #transformative agreements turn out to be not cool at all, but people pretend or believe that's the only way to accomplish OA.

The true way forward is scholar-led #DiamondOA based on open infrastructure. And yes, that means shifting budgets away from DEAL to support #DiamondOA instead. There's plenty of money in the system to do so.

New study: "Current levels of implementation of #transformative agreements is insufficient to bring about a large-scale transition to full #OpenAccess."

Reminder from the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement, section 4.6: "Paying #APCs at hybrid journals [through these agreements] pays the journals to stay hybrid. It pays them to resist the conversion to full #OA that many institutions intend and predict when they enter the agreements."

New study: "Our analysis demonstrates that research institutions seem to be ‘trapped’ in #transformative agreements [aka #ReadAndPublish agreements]. Instead of being a bridge towards a fully #OpenAccess world, academia is stuck in the #hybrid system."
