The new policies under the #OSTP memo will abolish #embargoes and require immediate or unembargoed #OpenAccess.
There are more #DiamondOA journals (no-APC OA journals) than APC-based OA journals, even if most articles pub'd by OA journals are in the APC-based variety. Not a "very small number."
"The #EU is ready to agree that immediate #OpenAccess to papers reporting publicly funded research should become the norm, w/o authors having to pay fees & that the bloc should support #nonprofit scholarly publishing models.

Dropping #embargoes accelerates research. It helps authors and their new work reach readers faster. It helps readers find and read new work faster, and that includes readers who happen to be journalists. Once research is ready to share, artificial delays in sharing it are an artificial brake on applying and building on that research. Dropping embargoes is esp important for time-sensitive research, such as developing tests and vaccines during a pandemic.
From SPARC: "While this policy does not serve as NASA's official response to the OSTP Nelson Memorandum, it is a good indication of what we are likely to ultimately see in NASA's agency-wide public access plan, which is due out in February 2023."
