Declaration To Defend Research Against U.S. Government Censorship
This Declaration is a call to action for the scholarly communication community and additional stakeholders to condemn and resist recent acts by the U.S. government to censor scholarly research.
We call on members of the worldwide scholarly communication ecosystems – researchers, policy-makers, scholarly societies, libraries, higher education and research institutions, publishers, funders, and others – to sign this Declaration to publicly condemn and resist the censorship of academic research. All are welcome to sign, from any nation or occupation. Please sign in your own name and/or on behalf of your organization. By signing, you commit to acting on at least one of these four recommendations:
Support instances of resistance to U.S. government censorship.
Promote venues for scholars to share, safeguard, and preserve their work, beyond the reach of censorship.
Participate in efforts to track and record instances of U.S. government censorship.
Share this Declaration broadly and encourage individuals and organizations in your communities to sign and support it.
As part of your commitment to condemn and resist, consider using the #DefendResearch hashtag.
Delayed resistance will only amplify censorship risks and cause irreparable harm. Now is the time to act!
(Read the Declaration.)
SIGNATORIES LIST WILL BE UPDATED DAILY. It may take up to 24 hours to update the public declaration to ensure signatories' privacy requirements are met. Please note that email addresses will never be publicly shared. Join our mailing list to receive ongoing information about the Declaration.
