Journal declarations of independence

2015-12-01T15:24:16Z

Kshawkin: /* 2015 */ added interview in University Affairs

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/Declaring_Independence.pdf Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence Declaration of Independence].
* Chronological order.

==1996==

* In December 1996, Shu-Kun Lin resigned as editor of ''Molecules'', then published by Springer-Verlag, and relaunched the journal with Molecular Diversity Preservation International ([http://www.mdpi.org/ MDPI]).

* In 1998 most of the editorial board of the ''Journal of Academic Librarianship'' resigned to protest the large hike in the subscription price imposed by Pergamon-Elsevier after it bought the journal from JAI Press. Several of the editors who resigned then created ''Portal: Libraries and the Academy'' at Johns Hopkins University Press.

==2003==

* Elsevier has published the ''European Economic Review'' since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the ''Journal of the European Economic Association'', was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

* On July 3, 2003, The entire 40+ person editorial board ''Labor History'' (Taylor and Francis) resigned in protest over the journal's high subscription price and lack of editorial independence. The same editors then launched ''Labor'' with non-profit Duke University Press. ''Labor'' is a partner of [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC], which assisted in the transition and launch.

* On August 13, 2003, the Society for the Internet in Medicine named the open-access ''Journal of Medical Internet Research'' as its new official journal, replacing the subscription-based ''Medical Informatics & Internet in Medicine''. (This is a decision by a scholarly society, not journal editors, but we include it on the list because of the family resemblance to a true declaration of independence.)

* In August 2007, the editorial board of ''K-Theory'' resigned, citing Springer's exorbitant pricing structures and slow production times as the reasons for doing so. Unlike other similar declarations by editorial boards, this split was particularly contentious. Anthony Bak, one of the editors who resigned, withheld articles for publication in ''K-Theory'' for over a year, which he then offered publication in the newly created ''Journal of K-Theory'' (see linked texts below for additional information).

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/Declaring_Independence.pdf Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence Declaration of Independence].

* Elsevier has published the ''European Economic Review'' since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the ''Journal of the European Economic Association'', was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

Journal declarations of independence

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/Declaring_Independence.pdf Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence Declaration of Independence].

* Elsevier has published the ''European Economic Review'' since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the ''Journal of the European Economic Association'', was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

Journal declarations of independence

2015-11-06T14:32:01Z

Kshawkin: /* 2015 */ added response by Jacob Berg

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://sparc.arl.org/sites/default/files/Declaring_Independence_Selection.pdf Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence Declaration of Independence].
* Chronological order.

==2003==

* Elsevier has published the ''European Economic Review'' since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the ''Journal of the European Economic Association'', was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://www.arl.org/sparc/DI/ Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence Declaration of Independence].

==2003==

* Elsevier has published the ''European Economic Review'' since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the ''Journal of the European Economic Association'', was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://www.arl.org/sparc/DI/ Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [http://www.nara.gov/exhall/charters/declaration/declaration.html Declaration of Independence].

==2003==

* Elsevier has published the European Economic Review since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the Journal of the European Economic Association, was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

Journal declarations of independence

Kshawkin: /* 2015 */ added link to Chronicle story on Lingua

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://www.arl.org/sparc/DI/ Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [http://www.nara.gov/exhall/charters/declaration/declaration.html Declaration of Independence].

==2003==

* Elsevier has published the European Economic Review since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal. But the EEA grew increasingly unhappy with Elsevier's subscription price and its requirement that the publisher, not the association, hire the journal's editors. In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the Journal of the European Economic Association, was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://www.arl.org/sparc/DI/ Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [http://www.nara.gov/exhall/charters/declaration/declaration.html Declaration of Independence].

Journal declarations of independence

2015-11-05T02:58:52Z

Kshawkin: added section for 2015 and reference to Lingua

[[File:oad2.jpeg|60px]] This list is part of the [http://oad.simmons.edu Open Access Directory].

* By a journal ''declaration of independence'', we mean the resignation of editors from a journal in order to launch a comparable journal with a friendlier publisher or less-restrictive access policies. The kinds we are collecting for this list usually have two stages. First, an editor or group of editors resigns from a journal in order to protest its high subscription price or audience-limiting access rules. This is usually accompanied by a public statement explaining "the causes which impel them to the separation" (to quote Thomas Jefferson). Second, some of the resigning editors create a new free or affordable alternative journal to compete with the first and to embody their vision of wide access.
** We include a few cases in which editors resigned ''en masse'' from a journal to protest restrictive access policies, but have not (or not yet) launched a new, less-restrictive journal.
* We borrow the term "declaration of independence" for this phenomenon from the [http://www.arl.org/sparc/ SPARC] project to assist journals in [http://www.arl.org/sparc/DI/ Declaring Independence]. Of course, SPARC borrowed the term from the U.S. [http://www.nara.gov/exhall/charters/declaration/declaration.html Declaration of Independence].
* Chronological order.

* Elsevier has published the European Economic Review since 1969. In 1986 the European Economic Association (EEA) adopted it as its official journal.

In 2001 the EEA started the process of declaring independence from Elsevier. In March 2003 its new official journal, the Journal of the European Economic Association, was launched by MIT Press at about one-third of the Elsevier subscription price.
