[IP-OA_Forum] OA Forward launches new website – oaforward.org

["contact@oaforward.org" <contact@oaforward.org>]

Dear colleagues,

 

We are pleased to share that OA Forward's new website is now live: https://oaforward.org

 

OA Forward brings together researchers, libraries, consortia, research organizations, funders and scholarly communities to share evidence, develop practical approaches and strengthen collective influence for a more open, equitable and sustainable scholarly publishing system.

 

The new website is the home for this work. Building on what the community developed through OA2020 and ESAC, it offers frameworks, tools and data to help decision-makers turn shared knowledge into practical action, with new resources and events to come. These include the Registry of open publishing agreements, recently expanded and enhanced, where consortia and libraries are warmly invited to contribute.

 

To mark the launch, we've published a blog post reflecting on what this community has achieved so far and the steps ahead: https://oaforward.org/moving-open-access-forward-the-next-chapter/

 

We hope you'll take a look! To receive updates, colleagues from libraries, consortia and research institutions are invited to join the OA Forward listserv.

 

With best regards,

Colleen Campbell, Executive Director

Ana Valente, Communication and Operations Manager
