Changes to OA Movement

From KPH:

• [ ] We don’t want people to miss the timeline. Could we please have a button (like the ‘find out more’ ones?) that says “jump to timeline”. This can be at the end of the top box.
• [ ] We would like to make it clearer that it is a timeline from the title of that section. In addition to ‘Story of Open Access’, could we please have a vertical title, like a bookmark, in the space shown in the attached screenshot reading ‘Timeline’? We think it would visually mirror the date menu quite nicely.
• [x] Can the sources be formatted without bullet points – following instead the same style as the reading list.
• [x] We aren’t happy with the ‘find out more’, ‘further information’ boxes that can be found on Governance and Finance and Open Access Movement pages. We think this can be deleted from both pages, though another option is to change them for icons if deemed necessary to keep

The world’s first ever diamond open access global summit is held at Toluca, Mexico on 23-27 October.

The organisers publish a Conclusions and Way Forward statement (LINK: chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://globaldiamantoa.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/202310-Global-Summit-Conclusions-Way-Forward.pdf) which states that: “Diamond OA is ultimately a means to an end: equitable access to scholarly publishing and reading, with a focus on the quality of the content rather than on the publishing venue.” UNESCO announces that it will host the Secretariat of the globally distributed cooperative for Diamond Open Access, organised through a federated community of Diamond Capacity Centres (LINK: https://thd.hypotheses.org/296).
