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."

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.
