Thesen zur Zukunft des wissenschaftsgeleiteten Open-Access-Publizierens – Entwicklung und Diskussion in einem partizipativen Prozess

"The discussion about the further shaping of the open access transformation has gained new momentum through the „Council Conclusions on High-Quality, Transparent, Open, Trustworthy and Equitable Scholarly Publishing“ by the EU Science Ministries from May 2023. The necessity of non-profit, scholarly open access publication models is emphasized. Against this background and further debates on the topic, „Theses on the Future of Community-Driven Open Access Publishing“ (German: „Thesen zur Zukunft des wissenschaftsgeleiteten Open-Access-Publizierens“) were developed as a contribution to the discussion at the satellite conference „Community-Driven Open Access Publishing“ (German: „Wissenschaftsgeleitetes Open-Access-Publizieren“) organized by the Berlin School of Library and Information Science of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin on September 26, 2023. The event accompanied the Open Access Days 2023, held at the Freie Universität Berlin. This paper presents the theses and describes their genesis and discussion process. The ten theses are meant to incite the further development of the open access transformation."
