💎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...

📖 Open-access publishing doesn’t happen without a team. Today, we’re introducing two volunteer copyeditors and typesetters: Dr. Liz Mahon – Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Australia. Seyedeh Mortazavi – Predoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Grenada, Spain.

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

📖 Time to put the spotlight on the team of volunteer copyeditors and typesetters who make open-access scientific publishing possible! Meet Dr. Francyne Amarante (Simon Fraser University, Canada) and Dr. Sophie Hage (University of Brest, France).

📢 New AI-usage guidelines! 🧠 Authors are responsible and accountable for the contents of their work, and so are reviewers for the content of their review. 🔗 More information about Sedimentologika's AI usage guidelines can be found here: oap.unige.ch/journals/sdk...

YES WE ARE : and you can publish with us for free and improve the whole system at the same time 💎 🚀

Camille Thomas@camthomas.bsky.social · 4mo ago

It is #EGU26 kick off and we have a poster up today with @sedimentologika.bsky.social Come say hello and chat about what is best for scientific publishing in X1.149 🔓
