Potentially good news that the EU is considering to move beyond #OpenAccess mandates and do away with author publication fees - and fund scientific publication directly.
To me, one problem in the way we talk about this is the tendency to discuss "journals" as a monolithic entity. On a previous episode of the #EMBOPodcast Adriano Aguzzi, Thomas Lemberger & I discussed if funding agencies should establish stricter parameters for which journals could be funded. The community can rate what matters - this is the sort of thing that could give DORA principles some teeth for example. Quality peer review, track record of publishing reliable work, inclusivity, tools for data analysis, etc.
If you want to jump to this bit in the episode ("From Prions to Preprints"), go to minute 19.
