💎New preprint: The Rise of Diamond OA Journals in Earth Sciences A decade ago a few scholar-led, no-fee journals started reimagining Earth science publishing. We map the wins & the fragilities that will decide whether this scales. #OpenAccess #DiamondOA doi.org/10.31223/X56...

Following our latest publication with @romainvaucher.bsky.social in @sedimentologika.bsky.social , we wrote a piece arguing that scientists can, and should, reclaim control over scholarly publishing. A fairer publishing system is not a distant ideal. We scientist can already take action 💎

Reclaiming scientific publishing: Our duty to make science freely accessible to all

When we (Camille Thomas and Romain Vaucher speaking) entered academia as graduate students in France and Switzerland, we were enthusiastic about the vast amount of research available with a simple cli...

✒️ Check out the latest GeoLog EGU blog post where @camthomas.bsky.social and @romainvaucher.bsky.social, co-funders of Sedimentologika, discuss the need to foster more accessible non-profit publishing initiatives and to promote Diamond Open Access journals. blogs.egu.eu/geolog/2026/...

We need to change how we publish science! New article with @camthomas.bsky.social : “Diamond is the new Green: why Green OA is not sustainable long-term.” About 15 min, perfect for a weekend reading with a coffee: @sedimentologika.bsky.social 💎 doi.org/10.57035/jou...

Very proud of this piece written with @romainvaucher.bsky.social Most research is funded with public money & written and reviewed for free by researchers : yet the results are controlled by corporations that set the rules and capture the profits. As an academic, you can help change the system!

Hi new followers! 👋 I’m a sedimentologist studying Earth surface processes and how (paleo)climate shapes our planet. 🌍 In a recent study, we found that climate drove repeated advances of a deltaic system ~51 million years ago, during Earth’s hothouse conditions. 🔥 (1/4) 🔗 doi.org/10.1130/G525...

It's International Open Access Week! 🎉 Join the conversation and check out the variety of online and in-person events running throughout the week. We are proud to be part of this community 🙌 www.openaccessweek.org

🎆 🎉 🎉 ❗ We are happy to announce that we are now on DOAJ, the Directory of Open Access Journals AND that we have been awarded the 🎖️ DOAJ Seal 🎖️ for best practice in open access publishing! Check us out and support your Diamond Open Access community journals! @doaj.bsky.social doaj.org/apply/seal/

Our new open access paper is out in Geology 📖🔓! Our findings suggest that climate-driven sediment supply variations during the Early Eocene Climate Optimum 🌡 played a more significant role than changes in accommodation space in controlling the Tremp basin's stratigraphy: doi.org/10.1130/G525...

🎺 We are pleased to share that our second volume is complete! 🎺 🙏 Thanks to our hosts at Université de Genève, and to all the authors, editors, volunteers, and readers who have enabled this milestone! oap.unige.ch/journals/sdk... #sedimentology #geoscience #openaccess #publishing #EDI #EDIA
