Editors at Philosophy & Public Affairs Resign and Will Launch New OA Journal
by Subbiah Arunachalam 22 May '24

22 May '24

Friends, "Crucial aims of scholarly publishing are not well served by commercial publishing," say the editors of a leading philosophy journal. Please see what I just received from <OPENCAFE-L(a)listserv.byu.edu>. Another mass resignation at a Wiley journal as the editors and all of the editorial board members of one of the most influential journals in moral and political philosophy, Philosophy & Public Affairs, have resigned en masse <https://dailynous.com/2024/05/22/editors-at-philosophy-will-launch-new-oa-j…>. This makes 11 journal mass resignations at Wiley since 2018 according to the Retraction Watch Mass Resignation List <https://retractionwatch.com/the-retraction-watch-mass-resignations-list/>. As the Daily Nous says according to their statement, *crucial aims of scholarly journals are “not well-served by commercial publishing* ... The outgoing editors and editorial board members will be launching a new diamond <https://www.coalition-s.org/diamond-open-access/> open-access journal to be published by Open Library of Humanities (OLH) <https://www.openlibhums.org/>, and will be occupying at the new journal the same positions they held at *Philosophy & Public Affairs*.” You can read the statement at the links above, it includes this familiar opening: "Faced with this conflict between purpose and business model, we have decided to embrace the purpose and move to an alternative model. The alternative—which our librarian colleagues have been urging for some time—is for libraries, universities, and other academic institutions to offer direct support for the publication of open-access journals, which are guided by independent scholarly judgment and freely available for authors and readers" **** It is indeed sad that at a time when enlightened editors of many journals starting from Fields medalist Timothy Gowers, who initiated the 'Boycott Elsevier' movement, are urging scientists to move away from commercial journals, we in India are entering into Transformative agreements with commercial publishers and helping them tighten their stranglehold on science and scholarship. A few months ago representatives of a commercial publisher was even given a red carpet welcome in New Delhi and their 'bus trip' to 15 leading institutions was facilitated so they could talk to professors and students on topics like writing research papers, presentation of data and scholarly communication! With best wishes, Subbiah Arunachalam
