Today the editorial board of _Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) resigned and launched a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics.

See the open letter announcing their resignations and plans for the new journal.

The new journal has a German title but will publish in English, _Zeitschrift für Mathematische Logik und Grundlagen der Mathematik_.

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

I also track them — and discussions of them — in the Open Access Tracking Project (#OATP, @oatp).

I just learned (late!) about the mass editorial resignations at the Journal of International Students (Nov 2023) to protest the unilateral decision by the founding editor to transfer the journal to an unnamed publisher and introduce #APCs. Six months later the editors who resigned launched a new #DiamondOA journal in the same niche.

I just added an entry about it to the #OpenAccessDirectory list of journal declarations of independence.

I moved my #OpenAccess timeline to the #OpenAccessDirectory (a wiki) in 2009, where it remains open for public contributions.

The idea was to crowdsource the job of keeping it up to date. Unfortunately the crowd has been slow to help out. The OAD version is still the most comprehensive up to 2009. But it's very meager after that. I'd be happy to talk with anyone hoping to build on it or recruit the crowd.

The OAD version also links to other OA timelines.

The Open Access Tracking Project (#oatp, @oatp) tracks these with the tag "oa.policies.journals.data". So far we've found 200 (examples and discussions), but there must be more.

4+ years ago the #OpenAccessDirectory started a list of them. But it's still under development and needs volunteers to beef it up, for example, from the OATP.

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.
