Dear list members, apologies for cross-posting as always,

Many of you probably saw this powerful recent article by Humberto Debat and Dominique Babini, "Plan S in Latin America: A precautionary note" https://peerj.com/preprints/27834/, which is well worth reading if you haven't.

Building upon this, in this latest video for the Open Science MOOC, Arianna Becerril-Garcia from AmeliCA and Redalyc discusses the leading role they are playing with Open Access in Latin America. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQDFHBJX7xI

It is really quite inspiring. For those of us in the western world, I feel like a lot of the time we like to think we are leading the global charge for OA. I learned many years ago that this is not true, and in fact the commercial elements of our industry continue to cause unprecedented damage to our research and our society. We should be looking to our friends in Latin America about the incredible work they have been doing for decades now. It is quite eye-opening, and I think a discussion worth developing.

Have a great weekend!
