Very glad to see the #arxiv steps toward #accessibility (#a11y). These include "offering well-formatted #HTML, alongside #PDF and #TeX source."
https://blog.arxiv.org/2023/01/19/access-is-not-the-same-as-accessibility-a-framework-for-making-research-papers-truly-open/
PS: There are 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘺 reasons to offer well-formatted HTML alongside PDF, or to stop publishing PDF-only. This one is first, closely followed by making work friendly to mobile users, users with low bandwidth, and users who need to text-mine, cut/paste, or use machine translation.

This is big. Eight UK #universities are acting in concert to adopt #RightsRetention #OpenAccess policies. Their public statement comes out tomorrow. (#paywalled)
https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/open-access-accord-weaken-publishers-negotiating-position
The action comes from the N8 Research Partnership universities — Durham, Lancaster, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield, and York.
Thanks and congratulations to them all.
