💶 Spending on #OpenAccess in Germany's universities has risen from €6.2M (2018) to over €100M (2024) – a 1500%+ increase.
🔐 Closed Access remains stable and still dominates budgets.

Progress in #ResearchAssessment in Germany: @dfg.de recommendation for a hybrid CV-template:
- no picture
- no birthdates
- no JIFs
- no h-index
- non-traditional pubs allowed

i.e. more substance, less highly abused metrics

Inspired by #CoARA @dorassessment.bsky.social
