EU ready to back immediate open access without author fees https://www.researchprofessionalnew...ck-immediate-open-access-without-author-fees/ Note: I saw this link on Mastodon so I'm sharing it here. I'm not familiar with "Research Professional News" and don't know anything about their credibility.
We have a similar rule in the US. Government-funded research must be made open-access within 12 months, and in 2026, it will have to be immediately. If my tax dollars go towards research, you bet I want to be able to read it.
