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

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.
Hereās the presidential column:
https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/open-access-journal-publishing
Hereās the panel discussion:
https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/aps-president-roundtable-open-accā¦
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 Ā¼ 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 āone topic per email.ā
Best to all,
Eric
