The @ojcollective.bsky.social, a coalition of academics, librarians, & uni-based publishers, have decided to take action.

Sign up to the free 'Scaling up diamond open access journals' webinar to find out how it came to light, what it offers & why it is needed:

There has been a lot of discussion over the years on the rising cost of academic journal subscriptions to libraries. While commercial publishers report growth in profits, how should libraries respond to the increasing subscription costs?

Well, there has been a response: @ojcollective.bsky.social...

Here's four ways to get involved with @ucloe.bsky.social

I like the 'contribute' one the most, send us your submissions!: journals.uclpress.co.uk/ucloe/

You can read the articles in the journal, sign up to new article alerts, watch the conference online and submit your research here: journals.uclpress.co.uk/ra/

Radical Americas is a UCL Press #OpenAccess journal exploring the historical, political and social contexts that have underpinned radicalism in the Americas.

If your research touches on the journal's aims and scope, consider submitting to the journal to be part of this truly radical publication.

Chris Hesketh's paper is the first to publish in the 'Contemporary Indigeneity in the Americas' series, with papers in 'Histories of Socialism and Indigeneity' soon to follow.
What’s at stake in the plurinational state debate? The case of Bolivia

The conference covered topics on Indigeneity & class struggle, Indigeneity & the modern state (see the latest publication), and historical approaches to political economy and Indigeneity and you can watch the conference online on the journal site: journals.uclpress.co.uk/ra/site/conf...

I'm delighted that my first post on here can be about this, one of my favourite journals.

Last year Radical Americas held a two day conference @ucl.ac.uk on Socialism and Indigeneity in the Americas, this series is one of two developed from the presentations.
