MY LANGUAGE! As a science communicator who pivoted with my PhD into scholarly communication I cannot agree more with this argument (I am a Visiting Fellow at ANU's Centre for Public Awareness of Science). Answering the 'who cares?' question is essential. scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2026/02/06/g...

We’ve been made aware of individuals receiving emails claiming to be from the OBC, requesting fees from authors. To be clear: OBC does not charge individuals, book clubs, or authors for meetings/events. We're a collective funding model that channels library support to OA publishers & infrastructure.

OA books get less attention than journals — that’s a missed opportunity. Policy focus, investment in discovery, and stronger publisher-library collaboration can fix this.
