Sign the Diamond Initiative for Publishing Open Access Are you upset/frustrated about the unsustainable profiteering of commercial publishers which put papers behind a paywalls and/or require authors to pay the journal to make their paper open access (i.e., "Gold" OA)? Do you want to make a difference and help us change this system, towards a more community led publishing system? The collective action in science committee at freeourknowledge.org is launching a petition to encourage researchers to publish at least one scholarly paper with a non profit / diamond open access agreement within a five-year period. Diamond Open Access refers to a publishing model in which authors are not charged for making their work publicly available to all readers. We hereby invite you to contribute to this initiative by signing the pledge here. By signing the pledge, you will contribute to an increased demand for alternative community-led and university-led publishers. The pledge's activation is contingent on a threshold of 500 people which will demonstrate that researchers can reach a critical mass to change the status quo.
