What do #researchers at our university say about #DiamondOA initiatives they support or work with?
"The scholar-led journal 'Demographic Research' by the @maxplanckgesellschaft is a gem in the world of #demography. With its commitment to diamond open access, exceptional variety of content, and a peer review process that rivals the best, it's a great pick for all fellow demographers."

We see #diamond #OpenAccess as a sustainable and fair model for #ScholarlyPublishing.

#DiamondOA initiatives are usually non-profit, run by and for academics.
These initiatives rely on external funding to remain operational, with funds mostly coming from university #libraries, academic institutions, #research funders or government grants.
We support various diamond open access infrastructures and initiatives.
From World Bank annual meeting to ICTP, @investinopen is on the move! 
Thrilled to be with colleagues from ICTP, WACREN, WASCAL Climate, AfriGEO, GÉANT and researchers from countries in West and Central Africa to explore climate data infrastructure needs and next steps, especially in light of the investments by the European Commission via the Africa Connect program.
Best way to spend #oaweek in my book!

“Diamond open access embodies the true and original spirit of the open access movement: to make the scholarly publishing industry more accessible, but also more affordable and #fair for everyone.”
This year for SPARC's #OAWeek 2024, we’re looking back at some of our past OAWeek blogs, and we’re looking forward to the next generation of our repository, KCWorks!

"All fine, Toby, but where should I go, then, for uploads and open sharing of my research outputs?", I hear you say?
Good thing is there are a lots of open and community-led alternatives. #OAWeek #OAWeek23
Why not have a look e.g. at community-led not-for-profit projects such as the wonderful Humanities Commons (@hello), which is an excellent hub and community for all things #SSH that not only provides an open repository (#CORE) to upload your outputs to, but it also has a host of other features including the option of hosting your own WordPress site, the use of community groups, etc. #Humanities
And in 2020, Erzsébet Tóth-Czifra has just ...
"One more word about ResearchGate/Academia.edu and why using these platforms will never be equal to proper self-archiving"
Some months later, in 2018, Naomi Truan (@BerLinguistin ) reminisced about her personal experience of ditching her Acad & RG profiles on
"The Day I Removed my Publications from Academia & Research Gate"
In 2017, Janneke Adema (@openreflections) returned to that topic, to take a closer look on
"Academia.edu and Self-Branding"
https://openreflections.wordpress.com/2017/05/09/academia-edu-and-self-branding/
Around the same time, and in a similar vein, a number of scholars inluding Janneke Adema (@openreflections), Gary Hall (@garyhall), Eileen Joy, and Guy Geltner had also written numerous critiques of the thinly-veiled for-profit goals of those academic social networks. #OAWeek #OAWeek23
All of these critiques have been collected & documented (together with a comprehensive bibliography) in Volume 9 of the Culture Machine Liquid Books series titled
"Really, We're Helping To Build This . . . Business: The Academia.edu Files"

Happy #OAWeek, everyone!
As it's that time of the year again, I thought it might be an idea to dust off one of my older birdsite threads, the reposting of which has become a bit of a tradition during Open Access Week, so here we go... #OAWeek23 #servicetoot
With academia.edu and ResearchGate apparently still being confused for actual #openaccess repositories in this year of 2023, please join me on a brief journey to revisit a number of critical examinations of those platforms... a 
As far back as 2015, @kfortney & Justin Gonder @ University of California’s Office of Scholarly Communication noted:
"A social networking site is not an open access repository"
