Funny to think back to the interview in 2020 for my COPIM postdoc where I was asked about the risk of the project being treated as free R&D for publishers (they even used MIT as an example). I didn't have a particularly good answer but it turns out that they were right to be worried!
Look, MIT Press are progressive in OA publishing. Heck, I have published with them and have another book under contract with them. But they always think they are the source of influence, never the influenced. They rarely acknowledge the work of others. www.researchinformation.info/analysis-opi...

Julien again hitting the bullseye; it's OK if a press comes together to publish three books, it's OK to have a lifecycle of 48 months. The temporary and ephemeral can be highly valuable and sometimes the rhetoric of sustainability and scaling is a red herring. #CopimConference
Julien McHardy emphasising the importance of generosity and care in the scholar-led open access space. Julien wrote a wonderful piece on the value of love in publishing that I often return to. doi.org/10.17351/est... #CopimConference

Love to hear @radishpress.bsky.social talk about scholarled publishing & enthusiasm for radical wealth distrubution and taking money off billionaires to fund small presses
