For International Open Access Week, we sat down with Sudip Parikh, AAAS CEO and the Executive Publisher of the Science Magazine family of journals, to discuss how we approach OA through the lens of scientists and engineers, as well as what priorities should be going forward. #OAWeek24 Want to dive deeper with us into OA policy? Join us at the 2025 AAAS Annual Meeting for a session discussing how OA policies can be designed with researchers and authors in mind. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e8nAGj7K

Our work to provide high-quality journals that publish curated cutting-edge research across disciplines, as well as in-depth news and commentary, wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated support of global librarians who continue to subscribe to our journals—and our mission. These institutions play a critical role in allowing AAAS to offer authors at five Science family journals the ability to make their peer-reviewed work freely available, at no cost to them. By publishing #ScienceCareers, #NewsFromScience, Perspectives, and Policy Forums, Science gives a voice to global scientists, facilitating dialogue on issues that matter to scientists as professionals and as they seek to engage with the public and other groups of scientists. Everything that is written on the pages of Science starts with asking what our readers want from our journals. The set of circumstances that allow us to do this—including support from librarians worldwide—is not something we take for granted. #OAWeek24 https://bit.ly/40dSgA4
