Blog post: “Creating Community Driven Pathways to Equitable Open Scholarly Publishing – Where Are We Now?”
On 27 February 2024, members of the PALOMERA, CRAFT-OA and DIAMAS projects gathered online with an audience of interested people to discuss their latest project developments and how these help to create community-driven pathways to equitable open scholarly publishing: the goal that unites the three projects. This was the second in a series of webinars intended to update the different communities about the progress of their work, with presentations from project speakers and the European Commission.

Blog post: “PALOMERA Conversations: A Deep Dive”
Over 2023, PALOMERA has been engaging widely with different groups of stakeholders, including policymakers and funders, universities, authors, librarians, publishers and infrastructure providers, about their experiences with policies for OA books. We have done this in many different ways, from surveys and interviews to our Funder Forum, focus groups, the PALOMERA series of events run by the Open Access Books Network (OABN), and a series of cross-project webinars with the DIAMAS and CRAFT-OA projects under the heading ‘Creating community-driven pathways to equitable open scholarly publishing’.
In this post, Lucy Barnes provides a snapshot of some of these conversations and draws connections between what was shared.
