What is Subscribe to Open (S2O)? S2O is an equitable open access model for scholarly journals that enables subscription journals to open access to their current content without Article Processing Charges (APCs). With more than 800 current journals in the humanities and social sciences, from close to 200 nonprofit publishers, we at Project MUSE are uniquely positioned to develop and deploy an S2O program at scale for a significant number of our journals. If you have been following along, you know that we have already have 27 publishers committed to participating in our S2O program!

Transforming Open Research Europe: A Vision for the Public Good I am thrilled to announce the release of our latest scoping report, “Open Research Europe: Towards a Collective Open Access Publishing Service”. This report unveils a transformative vision for Open Research Europe (ORE), the European Commission’s innovative open access publishing platform. Since its launch in March 2021, ORE has been a game-changer, offering a cost-free publishing service to grantees of the Commission’s Framework Programmes. It supports high-quality scholarly publishing through a transparent, cost-efficient model with post-publication open peer review. ORE champions open science practices, including early and open sharing of research, recognition of diverse research outputs, and visibility for peer review as a valuable research contribution. Our new report envisions transforming ORE into a service collectively supported by multiple funders and research institutions, making it accessible to all researchers at no cost. This vision aligns with broader EU policies and current developments in scholarly communications. We propose ten guiding principles for ORE to operate as a collectively supported service, aiming for a more equitable and transparent scholarly communication system. A collective ORE is set to foster innovative scholarly communication practices and address current system shortcomings. Backed by Council Conclusions on open science and scholarly publishing from 2022 and 2023, the report encourages Member States and research funding organizations to join ORE and explore its operation as a collective, non-profit, open access publishing service for the public good. Indeed, I want equity, diversity, and inclusivity to be at the heart of ORE’s operations, ensuring that access to knowledge and publishing services is treated as a public good. This report is the result of a collaborative effort involving my team, EC services, and several national research funding and performing organizations, incorporating feedback from a consultation with R&I stakeholders.

Reflection on Library Skills Participating in the Library Skills session during PETARY Open Day was a profound exploration into the vast resources available at our fingertips and an enlightening experience that transcended the conventional boundaries of a library. The event not only equipped me with practical knowledge on borrowing books but also unveiled the wealth of information accessible through online platforms.   The journey began with an interactive session on borrowing procedures, where I learned the intricacies of the library system. Also, Navigating the online catalog demonstrated the library's commitment to staying current with technological advancements. Understanding how searching for books online expanded my horizon, emphasizing the library as not just a physical place.   Venturing into the library, I was captivated by the array of journals and historical volumes, for example Iban Language Dictionary, serving as gateways to a treasure trove of knowledge. Exploring these resources revealed the rich information available for academic and personal enrichment. It underscored the library's role as a reservoir of diverse perspectives and historical insights, fostering an appreciation for the depth of our academic institution's resources.   The multitude of booths at PETARY Open Day added layers to this experience. Engaging in activities like the scavenger hunt was also instrumental in reinforcing the practical application of library skills. It showcased the library as a dynamic space for learning, collaboration, and discovery.   Reflecting on my engagement, I recognize personal growth in navigating the evolving landscape of information access. The experience has heightened my awareness of the importance of library skills in academic pursuits and beyond. I am now more adept at utilizing traditional and digital resources, understanding their complementary roles in research and learning.   Looking forward to this experience has implications for my academic journey. I see the library not just as a repository of books but as a dynamic hub for knowledge acquisition and collaboration. As I embark on future research endeavors, the skills cultivated during PETARY Open Day will undoubtedly shape my approach to information gathering, fostering a more comprehensive and efficient research methodology.   In essence, this exploration has instilled in me a lifelong appreciation for the library as an indispensable partner in academic and intellectual pursuits.
