In celebration of International Open Access Week, the BOAI Org and the National Council of Rectors of Costa Rica (CONARE) are pleased to announce the organization of the third event in our series of webinars addressing the worrying trend of no-fee OA journals adopting the APC model. The webinar will include stakeholders from the scholarly communication system discussing best practices for no-fee OA journals. In addition, we will introduce the idea of the development of a resource to show institutional investment in the no-fee OA model to recognize those institutions that are supporting this equitable model and encourage others to do so.
