I was asked to write an Op Ed piece by @ResProfNews on universities cancelling journal Big Deals: researchprofessionalnews.com… I was keen to stress that at least some of any savings must be used to support new, fairer models

End of big deals is a chance to build a better publishing system - Research Professional News

Don’t waste a crisis—invest in more open and equitable business models, says David Prosser

"I am delighted to see innovations in scholarly communication being led by metascientists themselves", says @BrianNosek @OSFramework Scholarly communication faces big challenges: peer review pressure, limited access, & lack of openness. Metaresearch has a unique role in solving them. Learn how MetaROR is driving innovation: metaror.org/
