Pause. Take 3 minutes of #OAWeek to watch this powerful provocation from Kanishka Sikri (of @KnowEquityLab) that asks fundamental, often uncomfortable questions about equity in Academia.

Sit with it. Reflect. Then, work on your own plan to advance equity. https://t.co/hoUvmw078Z

This year, Open Access Week will continue the call to put “community over commercialization.”

The unprecedented step to build on this theme for a 2nd #OAWeek highlights its importance and the opportunity to turn these conversations into collective action. https://t.co/2NX9gfNKFW

The deployment of AI in the academic publishing process should be of urgent concern to anyone committed to making research more equitable.

The next episode of Unsettling Knowledge Inequities is live!

We're joined by @greenarchives1, author of the forthcoming book Data Cartels, to discuss her work tracking the intersection of surveillance & research platforms—and why we should be concerned. https://t.co/FoxcGeNGKj

This is the right move, just as it was for COVID-19, but why wait for the next crisis? @POTUS @WhiteHouse We need a national open access policy to make ALL federally funded research immediately available to the public. #OAintheUSA #OpenScience #OpenAccess

[SPARC @SPARC_NA]

“Open for Climate Justice” is the theme for this year’s Open Access Week.

This year’s focus on Climate Justice seeks to encourage connection and collaboration among the climate movement and the international open community. #OAWeek #OpenForClimateJustice
