Hi Folks,
I’m pleased to announce that Principles for Open-Access Scholarly Publishing has been released by the WAC Clearinghouse. The statement offers sets of principles for publishers, editors, peer reviewers, authors, readers, evaluation committees, institutions, and professional organizations. It is prefaced with an introduction that addresses the role open-access publishing can play in the dissemination of scholarly work.
The statement was developed with contributions from 17 scholars in the writing studies community and is endorsed by 40 individuals, publications, and organizations. You can find the statement at https://wac.colostate.edu/about/open-access-principles/.
If you wish to contribute to further development of the statement, please reach out to me directly at mike.palmquist.
