Feedback from our community is often around how confusing the open access (OA) landscape can be to navigate. We understand this. It's complex and can be difficult to keep up to speed with the latest developments. For part three of our Open Access Week series of blogs, Emerald's Regional Director for Southern & Eastern Europe, Laura Bonald, delves into just a few of the OA models and what they mean, from transformative agreements to subscribe to open. Laura concludes with the need to find an equitable approach that increases OA routes for all authors, across the globe. We remain open-minded that together, with all stakeholders involved, that this will one day happen. Read the full blog, here: https://bit.ly/3BZ5aIn #OAWeek #OpenAccess #Equity

Providing sustainable open access (OA) that works for all has always been our goal. This is why our approach is embodied by the phrase ‘Open to All'. Over the years, our OA journey has evolved as we've listened to what the research community needs and wants. We've experimented with different models and we've changed direction as a result. What hasn't changed though is staying open-minded about the future OA landscape. Part two of our Open Access Week series of blogs explains all this and more.

#OAWeek is here! While open access (OA) remains a sector challenge, Open Access Week is an opportunity for us all to take action and keep momentum moving forward. We don't have all the answers, but we do believe that diversity drives better outcomes for society and that this should include a diversity of publishing models and publishers within the ecosystem. So, throughout the week, we're taking the opportunity to introduce a series of blogs that offer frank and honest reflections on the current OA landscape from our perspective and experience and are based on thousands of interactions with the research and library communities. Today's blog by Tony Roche, Emerald's Chief Officer: Publishing & Strategic Relationships, discusses the Plan S initiative, its challenges and unintended impacts.
