Summary:
"The pledge:
As a researcher who works in or relates to the field of cognitive science, I agree that the profiteering by third parties in the current publishing system in academia is highly problematic (for a problem analysis see here), and therefore I am willing to declare that:
I will publish 1 of my (co-authored) papers (or 1 of my chapters, or a book), with an open access publisher that does not charge article processing fees (i.e., under a diamond open access agreement) within 5 years from the day the pledge activates.
Under the following conditions:
- 500 other cognitive science researchers have signed as well.
- That it is ensured that my pledge will not be made public without my permission if the pledge does not activate.
- When the pledge activates after 500 signatories my pledge becomes automatically public, and I will be notified at this point...."
