The Journal of Critical Public Health (JCPH) is devoted to disseminating critically engaged research in public health, health promotion & related fields. Diamond Open Access. journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/jcph/

This is a much-needed initiative to ensure a sustainable future for #diamondOA journals. Academics: if you care about a healthy, non-commercialised journal infrastructure, see if your library is supporting this!

We agree: our mass resignation from a commercial publisher enabled us to carve a crucial space in scholarly publishing, controlled by the academic community, for the academic community. It's not about IFs.

It's easy to be sniffy about the impact of editorial board resignations on publishing but collective action in higher education is actually pretty rare and should be actively supported where possible.

This is very juicy and articulates most of what infuriated me about #ImplementationScience: “ The field has rarely articulated the ways in which an underlying intervention naturalizes or obscures structural violence because it implicitly grants the premise of the intervention”
