New study: "Current levels of implementation of #transformative agreements is insufficient to bring about a large-scale transition to full #OpenAccess."

Reminder from the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement, section 4.6: "Paying #APCs at hybrid journals [through these agreements] pays the journals to stay hybrid. It pays them to resist the conversion to full #OA that many institutions intend and predict when they enter the agreements."

New study: "Our analysis demonstrates that research institutions seem to be ‘trapped’ in #transformative agreements [aka #ReadAndPublish agreements]. Instead of being a bridge towards a fully #OpenAccess world, academia is stuck in the #hybrid system."

Wilhelm Widmark (U of Stockholm) on #ReadAndPublish agreements:
https://hardimanlibrary.blogspot.com/2023/09/wilhelmwidmark.html
"We [in #Sweden] have made a lot of mistakes initially with #transformative agreements…They are too expensive, and we don't want to keep on paying into that system…We can't accept that the old transformative agreements will be the ongoing business model. At the same time our goal is to reach 100% #OpenAccess, but not at any price."

RAINFOREST aims to reduce the negative impacts of #food and #biomass value chains on global #biodiversity. Funded by #HorizonEU, the project is tackling environmental degradation and helping to achieve the UN’s #SDGs. #RainforestHorizon
We work with #stakeholders to develop and evaluate #transformative change pathways and interventions that are just, viable, and actionable. Our main objective is contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.
Opportunity: The second round of our Communication Grants is now open! We want to support researchers who seek to disseminate their #sustainability #research to non-academic audiences in new and #innovative formats and practices.

The Pathways Initiative supports and strengthens an open #community of #scientists wanting to engage in #transformative and #TransdisciplinaryResearch, which often face a lack of concepts, methods, and institutional support.
By creating spaces of #reflection, #collaboration, and mutual learning, we aim to increase the capacity of researchers to engage with actors to explore alternative narratives and co-construct pathways towards more desirable futures.

#Sweden plans to phase out its #transformative agreements after 2024, at least according to this Nov 2021 statement from the vice chair of its negotiating consortium. It has many TAs today, but it's learned from experience that it doesn't want to stick with them.

How is #transdisciplinary research designed? Based on previous work on real experiments by Gross and others, the #research path begins with analyzing the boundary conditions and then to bring together people who want to solve a #transformative challenge. Together knowlede is generated. In the case of the #Chiemgauer curency we had a look at the statistics and the current situation. Then we had three open workshops with the result to start a project with an #climate incentive.
The European Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities (aka All European Academies, #ALLEA) just released an excellent critique of #APCs and #transformative (read-and-publish) agreements, building up to an excellent set of recommendations, including #RightsRetention.

PS: It's similar in these ways to #BOAI20.
