Some publishers perpetuate practices that conflict with the interests of scholars. High publication-related fees are one example. An emphasis on crude metrics such as impact factor rather than quality evaluation of journal practices is another. We will describe initiatives that provide alternatives and work on actions to support these. Peer Community Ins perform all the intellectual work of a journal in a way that is free for authors and readers; relevant communities including PCI Registered Reports and PCI Psychology. In the metascience area, MetaROR.org provides peer reviews of preprints (which can optionally be submitted to journals). The Free Journal Network curates scholar-controlled diamond OA (free to publish in and free to read) journals, provides relevant advice, and can support editors interested in “flipping” to this model. In this hackathon, we will develop strategies to facilitate the movement of psychologists and psychology journals towards these publication practices.
