Dear Types list, Since there have been some mentions of publication practices in the recent discussions on conferences, I would like to advertize the following pledge that you can sign in favor of open access (which I don't think has appeared on this mailing-list yet): https://nofreeviewnoreview.org/ To summarize: "we will avoid serving as peer reviewers for venues that do not make publicly available the research that we review. Instead, we will give priority to open-access venues in how we allocate our reviewing time and organizational efforts." NB: The pledge doesn't say anything about declining to submit as an author to closed-access venues. This is a deliberate choice, discussed in the FAQ: https://nofreeviewnoreview.org/faq#authors https://nofreeviewnoreview.org/faq#decline_publish Of course, someone who signs this pledge is entirely free to also commit to only publish in OA journals/conferences if they think it lends more credibility to their stance (personally this is what I do). Best, Lê Thành Dũng (Tito) Nguyễn
