👏This is a welcome and timely statement from N8. Our Research Culture strategic objectives at Leeds include encouraging more open research and recognising diverse research outputs and contributions. The way scholarly research is currently published is not always compatible with that. Time to change!

Wonderful to see this statement from @n8research.bsky.social calling for more equitable models in scholarly publishing! We are very glad to see importance on "mission-driven scholarly societies and non-profit publishers who are already leading the way in developing new, more equitable models." 👏
