A study published in the [MIT Science Policy Review](https://sciencepolicyreview.org/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2026/07/v7_01_ai_education.pdf)audited AI policies across global medical journals and called for a major shift—moving from static rules that merely police authors to an active, ongoing stewardship of the scientific record. In this independent evaluation, JMIR Publications was recognized alongside JAMA and PLOS for operating at an AI Governance Readiness Level of 2, the highest level achieved amongst the journals evaluated  in the study sample. ![Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%20(5).jpeg?width=45&name=Image%20(5).jpeg) [Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/author/dennis-obrien-vice-president-of-communications-partnerships) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/leading-the-transition-from-ai-disclosure-to-ai-integrity) ![Blog header for Why Green and Diamond OA Aren't Enough to Scale Open Science featuring picture of Dennis O'Brien](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/V2%20Dennis%20blog%20July%202026-1.png) [Open Access,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/open-access) [Industry News](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/industry-news) ### [The Real-World Risks of Defunding APCs: Why Green and Diamond OA Aren't Enough](https://blog.jmir.org/the-real-world-risks-of-defunding-apcs-why-green-and-diamond-oa-arent-enough) 21 July 2026 1:40 p.m. As the research community navigates recent Office of Management and Budget (OMB) revisions, a seductive argument has surfaced in the debate over open science: *why do we need article processing charges (APCs) at all when Green (repository deposit) and Diamond (institutionally subsidized) OA models exist?* ![Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%20(5).jpeg?width=45&name=Image%20(5).jpeg) [Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/author/dennis-obrien-vice-president-of-communications-partnerships) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/the-real-world-risks-of-defunding-apcs-why-green-and-diamond-oa-arent-enough) ![Choosing the Right Journal: JMIR Welcomes Modern Evaluation Ecosystems](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/V2%20Dennis%20blog%20July%202026.png) [Open Access,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/open-access) [Industry News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/industry-news) [Libraries](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/libraries) ### [Empowering Your Research Choices: JMIR Welcomes Modern Evaluation Ecosystems](https://blog.jmir.org/empowering-your-research-choices-jmir-welcomes-modern-evaluation-ecosystems) 7 July 2026 5:10 p.m. At JMIR Publications, we believe that choosing the right journal is one of the most critical steps in a researcher’s journey.

A sweeping new proposal from the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) threatens to break that promise by fundamentally rewriting how federal grants are awarded, managed, and published. ![Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Image%20(5).jpeg?width=45&name=Image%20(5).jpeg) [Dennis O'Brien, Vice President of Communications & Partnerships](https://blog.jmir.org/author/dennis-obrien-vice-president-of-communications-partnerships) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/open-access-promises-broken-a-proposed-federal-rule-threatens-the-independence-and-accessibility-of-u.s.-science) ![](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/cruk-logo.svg) [Open Access,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/open-access) [Industry News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/industry-news) [JMIR News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/jmir-news) [Libraries](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/libraries) ### [How to Reform Publishing Without Dismantling Open Science: A Reply to CRUK](https://blog.jmir.org/how-to-reform-publishing-without-dismantling-open-science-a-reply-to-cruk) 6 May 2026 3:18 p.m. *For over 25 years, JMIR Publications has operated on a simple premise: health research should be immediately and freely accessible to all. However, recent policy changes from major funders like Cancer Research UK (CRUK) now threaten to dismantle the very "Full Open Access" model that made this possible. By cutting all APC support, these policies risk stifling independent, scholar-led publishers while leaving the massive revenue streams of legacy publishers untouched. Below, we share our response to CRUK and propose five alternatives that reform the system without sacrificing the progress of the last two decades.* [JMIR Publications](https://blog.jmir.org/author/jmir-publications-1) [Read More](https://blog.jmir.org/how-to-reform-publishing-without-dismantling-open-science-a-reply-to-cruk) ![Image of a book with an open door and the open access logo included](https://blog.jmir.org/hubfs/s2o-from-perspective-of-librarians-1000x750.png) [Open Access,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/open-access) [Industry News,](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/industry-news) [JMIR News](https://blog.jmir.org/tag/jmir-news) ### [S2O and the Rise of Conditional Open Access](https://blog.jmir.org/s2o-and-the-rise-of-conditional-oa) 17 April 2026 9:58 a.m. In response to[*"Is Subscribe to Open Good for Libraries?"
