The Route to an Open Scholarly Ecosystem Runs through CC BY
Some publishers have sought to leverage more restrictive licenses to gain commercial control of open access works. Soft mandates for the CC BY license could help.

The report offers pragmatic steps based on community needs:

➡️Full transparency in OA publishing agreements
➡️Fairer pricing frameworks
➡️Support for diverse publishing models
➡️CC BY licensing to preserve author rights and enable academic agency—esp. as AI reshapes research communication

The consensus was clear: #OpenAccess has passed the tipping point.

The continued transformation of #ScholarlyCommunication depends on our collective ability to turn progress into practice.

The report addresses exactly how we can accomplish this together.

Earlier this week, the final statement of the #OA2020 @oa2020.bsky.social
17th Berlin Open Access Conference was published

oa2020.org/b17-conferen...

It's great to see transparancy included as objective for publisher negotiations, with an explicit mention of the Barcelona Declaration.
Text fragment from the final statement of the OA2020 17th Berlin Conference on Open Access, including a list of objectives the following objectives to guide the next phase of publisher negotiations toward an open scholarly communication paradigm. Objective 3: Transparency: A rapid transition to open access requires that all stakeholders have full visibility into the data necessary to steward this shift and prepare for a future where financial flows equitably support the needs of authors and the research community. We call on publishers to collaborate with the research community to enable the full opening of research information, as described in the Barcelona Declaration. Only with full transparency around publication data, publication ethics and quality assurance standards, and pricing—including information on waivers, discounts, and the impacts of geopricing—can the global research community assess progress, ensure accountability, and cultivate a fair and sustainable open scholarly publishing ecosystem.
