@Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @brembs@mastodon.social You write that the Gates Foundation “add[s] their voice to the chorus”, but is there actually another funder that so far has combined preprint mandate with refusal to pay APCs? Given their leading role in publishing reform, I expect that the Wellcome Trust and Howard Hughes will follow soon, maybe Chan Zuckerberg and Wallenberg Foundation too. But did any public funders announce such plans?

@Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org @brembs@mastodon.social The irony is that APCs gave Open Access a tremendous boost when they were first introduced. It is the commercial exploitation by many publishers of authors' (and funders', institutions') 'need' to have their papers accepted for publication in 'peer-reviewed' journals, yet freely available to anyone, that causes the problem, with vastly inflated APCs trumping knowledge sharing.

@Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org @brembs@mastodon.social What does [a federated institutional infrastructure is proposed to replace for-profit journals and their ownership models] mean?
