Sufyan bin Uzayr and I just created a list of major initiatives for #Diamond #OpenAccess in the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD).

Thanks to Sufyan bin Uzayr for enlarging and updating the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD) list of Declarations in support of #OpenAccess.
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Declarations_in_support_of_OA

All OAD lists are #crowdsourced. If you'd like to help make any of them more comprehensive and up to date, here's how to get started.

Thanks to Sufyan bin Uzayr for enlarging and updating the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD) list of #advocacy organizations for #OpenAccess.

Like all OAD lists, this one is #crowdsourced. Here's how to help make any of the OAD lists more comprehensive and up to date.

Kudos to the editors of the 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘓𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤, published by #SpringerNature, who just resigned to launch a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics, published by @openlibhums.

Here's the new journal, 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘓𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤.

Also see the entry I just created for it in the #OpenAccessDirectory list of journal #DeclarationsOfIndependence.

UPDATE: The announcement letter (first link above) was initially undated, but is now dated December 10, 2025.

#Editors #OpenAccess #Philosophy #Resignations

Today the editorial board of _Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) resigned and launched a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics.

See the open letter announcing their resignations and plans for the new journal.

The new journal has a German title but will publish in English, _Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik_.

I track these journal "declarations of independence" in the #OpenAccessDirectory (#OAD), and just added an entry for this one, at the bottom in chronological order.
https://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/Journal_declarations_of_independence#2025

I also track them — and discussions of them — in the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp).

#Logic #Mathematics #OpenAccess #ScholComm

I just learned (late!) about the mass editorial resignations at the Journal of International Students (Nov 2023) to protest the unilateral decision by the founding editor to transfer the journal to an unnamed publisher and introduce #APCs. Six months later the editors who resigned launched a new #DiamondOA journal in the same niche.

I just added an entry about it to the #OpenAccessDirectory list of journal declarations of independence.

Kudos to the U of Essex (@uni_of_essex) for adopting a #RightsRetention #OpenAccess policy.

To follow progress on these policies, see the steadily growing list at the #OpenAccessDirectory.
