This is a good start. I think they are on the right track. Unfortunetely the world has let America takd the riens. As we have seen under the current administration. If America does want the science it losses to other projects. So I think all reputable scientists should get on board.
The number of low-quality or fraudulent publications is rising to hundreds of thousands per year. It is time to reevaluate current publishing models and outline a global plan. Read the 'Reformation of science publishing: the Stockholm Declaration': royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... #RSOS 🧪

To commemorate Armistice Day, we share this truly historic item: the pen that was used to sign the Armistice, at 5 a.m. on 11 November 1918. It was given to the Churchill family by the nephew of Admiral Wemyss, who as 1st Sea Lord signed the Armistice on behalf of the Government (BRDW V 5/1).
