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.

_Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) has been the official journal of the Deutsche Vereinigung für Mathematische Logik und für Grundlagenforschung der exakten Wissenschaften (DVMLG). The DVMLG was initially happy with Wiley for respecting its editorial independence. But in an April open letter it charges "that the attitudes and procedures of Wiley have changed considerably in the last few years and that commercial and profit-oriented interests are now influencing the editorial process negatively." DVMLG will not renew with Wiley when the current contract expires at the end of 2025.

And BTW, the DVMLG wants its journal to be #DiamondOA.

The editorial board of the 52-yr old _Journal of Human Evolution_ just resigned to protest #Elsevier's interference with editorial practices, reducing journal quality, and insistence on a high #APC ($3990), reducing its affordability to authors in the field. "We all care deeply about the journal, our discipline, and our academic community; however, we find we can no longer work with Elsevier in good conscience."

There's no sign yet that the editors will launch a new #OpenAccess journal somewhere else. So I've not yet added it to the #OAD list of journal #DeclarationsOfIndependence

5/ Major update. The fired and resigning editors of the old #Wiley journal (Journal of Political Philosophy) just launched a new #OpenAccess journal (Political Philosophy) from the @openlibhums.

I track these journal "declarations of independence" in the #OpenAccessDirectory, and just added an entry for this one, near the bottom in chronological order.
