So wonderful to see punctum books 📚 going from strength to strength! A living testament (among many others active in the @copim and @RadicalOA communities and beyond) that sparkly #DiamondOA for #OAbooks can actually work! 😍 > For the first time in our fourteen-year history, we have reached a threshold of financial stability whereby we have the salaried staff we need to do the work we want to do at a pace that is liveable, everyone is being compensated above academic publishing industry standards, and economic sustainability is no longer something we hope for: it is a reality, especially thanks to the libraries who have decided that investing in community-led Diamond OA book publishing is a vital and valuable wedge against the wholesale commercial privatization (theft) of publicly funded knowledge production and exchange. https://punctumbooks.pubpub.org/pub/punctum-books-activity-and-financial-report-2024/release/1
