Knowledge, Learning, Community

This should be the future of academic publishing: "TU Delft OPEN Publishing is an innovative, community-driven university publisher working closely with TU Delft researchers and teachers. We listen to their needs and place them at the center of our services." The output serves the whole community. "Our books and journals adhere to the Diamond Open Access model, ensuring that all content is free to read and free to publish. Authors retain full copyright of their work under a CC-BY-4.0 license." I don't know what the financial model is for TU Delft but I would imagine they're spending less than they would on commercial academic publishing. For institutions looking to follow in their footsteps, here are their policies. Via Alan Levine.
