Abstract: Bestehende Open-Access-Ansätze haben das wissenschaftliche Publizieren nicht deutlich günstiger, weniger ungleich oder weniger abhängig von kommerziellen Akteuren gemacht. Die Infrastruktur, die das Publizieren von Forschungsergebnissen benötigt, ist von essentieller Bedeutung. Sie entscheidet mit darüber, wie offen und zugänglich unser Publikationssystem ist. Der Vortrag widmet sich – gestützt auf Daten, Erfahrungen und Beispiele – der Frage, wie diese Infrastruktur aufgestellt werden kann, wie wissenschaftliche und wissenschaftsunterstützende Einrichtungen unterschiedlicher Größe dazu beitragen können und wie Ansätze ausgerichtet sein könnten, die tatsächliche Veränderung herbeiführen. Bio: Marco Tullney leitet den Bereich Publikationsdienste der Technischen Informationsbibliothek (TIB) und koordiniert deren Open-Access-Aktivitäten. Er ist verantwortlich für mehrere Open-Access-Dienste und ist aktiv in nationalen und internationalen Projekten und Netzwerken zum Thema Open Access. Insbesondere arbeitet er zur Professionalisierung und nachhaltigen Finanzierung des (Diamond-)Open-Access-Publizierens.

Abstract: The integration of scholarly publishing into the global capitalist system brought both benefits and drawbacks. While market forces drove innovation and efficiency, they also created profound inequities based on enclosures, limiting access to research based on financial capacity rather than academic merit. Diamond Open Access (OA) offers a solution to this inequity by removing financial barriers for both readers and authors. However, this raises a critical question: can we abandon the market's "invisible hand" without losing its efficiency? This presentation explores how a community-led coordination model can complement—not replace—the commercial system to build a publishing landscape that is simultaneously efficient, sustainable, and equitable. Bio: Pierre Mounier is co-coordinator of OPERAS Research Infrastructure with Suzanne Dumouchel.
