Hi All,

Is there a way to find out (a list somewhere?) which publishers, publishing industry organisations, universities and libraries etc have left X (Twitter)? We want to leave X - but as a small publisher we have to be where our audience is, and we have limited resources so we can't be everywhere. And building up a social media presence is slow, hard work.

Each year, OASPA compiles a dataset of open access publishing output and
openly shares the data. We are delighted to once again have worked with
Delta Think who have helped us by taking on the analysis, structuring and
presentation of the data we most recently collected.

today highlights our findings which showed that, although total OA output
continued to grow, fully OA journals output shrank for the first time and
hybrid journals made up the lost ground.

I'm commenting on this article: https://www.oaspa.org/news/fully-oa-journals-output-shrank-in-2023-but-hybrid-oa-made-up-the-lost-ground/
It occurred to me that one reason for this drop could be consortia like my own (CRKN) signing "transformative" (read-and-publish) big deals in that time period that provide waivers for OA in hybrid journals but do not include gold OA journals.

A reminder of Thursday's virtual seminar (*Thursday 6 February 2025, 3pm
GMT/UTC)* which will focus on quality in open access (OA) publishing.

- What do researchers expect from OA journals and what do OA journals
offer?
- Are there any regional differences in the perception of publication
quality?

During this webinar we will hear from researchers and journal editors from
East and North Africa, a librarian from Southeast Europe and digital
publishing and dissemination service from North America. Efforts to
establish sets of criteria that OA publishers need to meet in order to
ensure equitable, transparent, and high-quality OA publishing
