Dear Colleagues,
The Association for Psychological Science (APS) is launching a new open access journal, and the president, Shinobu Kitayama, wrote a column and had a panel discussion about big picture with OA.
Here's the presidential column:
https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/open-access-journal-publishing
Here's the panel discussion: https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/aps-president-roundtable-open-acce...
Three reasons for sharing:
(a) The article is interesting and, to me, anyway, informative. I had not known of Gandhi championing an early version of OA, for example (though it certainly makes sense)
(b) We could write comments on the article, and advertise the WJ of Science (and the rest of our suite) there
(c) It is another development in the OA landscape
APS is much smaller than APA (less than ¼ the membership), and much smaller as a publishing house, but it is the premier organization for non-clinical scientific psychology (the sort that would send articles to WJ Science). The larger APA just closed down its sole OA journal (Archives of Scientific Psychology) and is 100% traditional publishing with the rest of its journals and books.
Psychology is interesting as a discipline, highly interstitial. There is another part of it (the more humanistic, and the psychodynamic, and also perhaps the qualitative and ethnographic) that would overlap a lot more with the WJ Humanities space, and of course clinical psychology would overlap with WJ Medicine.
I have a second email update coming, but I am keeping separate in the mode of "one topic per email."
Best to all,
Eric

Excellent points all around Eric.
I find the Association for Psychological Science (APS) to benefit my *clinical *practice more than the APA, partly because APS concentrates on psychological science as opposed to the mish-mash of wide-ranging, poorly considered initiatives undertaken by APA. Plus, APS has long recognized Wikipedia's importance and they (to some extent at least) regard contributions to Wikipedia as serious public service.
Thank you for sharing Shinobu Kitayama's column and the panel discussion.
All the best,
Mark
