We have today published a new guest blog post by Jean-Claude Guédon<https://oaspa.org/guest-post-by-jean-claude-guedon-scholarly-communication-and-scholarly-publishing/> on the OASPA blog. In this thoughtful and insightful post, Guédon explores how scholarly publishing should relate to scholarly communication. He posits that though aligned, publishing and communication have diverged and argues that journals and the concept of “version of record” are a legacy from print with some processes getting in the way of optimal scholarly communication and says that "now is the time to make some fundamental choices." OASPA and Guédon welcome your comments on the blog and wide sharing of this piece. The OASPA blog is a space for community engagement on issues related to open access and open research. We welcome thoughtful engagement and public debate in order to foster a transparent exchange of views, experiences and ideas between all those working in the open access ecosystem, with the overall aim of contributing to the global advancement of open access in a way that supports scholars and their institutions, and that gives voice to the whole spectrum of models and approaches within our membership and ultimately furthers our mission to advance open access and ensure a diverse, vibrant, and healthy open access community. Please get in touch if you are interested in publishing a guest post - please note, authors of guest blog posts must be willing to allow moderated comments on their post.
