Open Access Publishing

In the context of the 2022 White House OSTP memo on open access, a new wave of OA publishing is coming and organizations, funders, and institutions need to work together to provide pathways to diamond and green OA, to support increased non-profit and institution-based OA publishing, and to research costs and best practices.
