It’s Time for “Instant Open Archiving” in the Psychological Sciences | MeaningSeeds

Summary:

"Currently, when researchers publish new studies in academic journals, most articles are secured behind a paywall and are accessible only to institutions or individuals who pay sizable subscriptions fees. This is problematic because science is funded by the public and has the potential to benefit the public through the increased availability of empirical facts in politics, K-12 education, business, the operation of NGOs, and in the public sphere at large. This problem has led many to advocate for a shift to Open Access publishing models, where all articles are freely accessible to the public upon publication.

Here we propose an interim solution, called 'Instant Open Archiving', which can be adopted now by Editorial teams at for-profit journals."
