From the editorial of the new #PCI#Psychology (https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/m456e_v1):

> "The barrier to expanding the list of PCI-Friendly journals is not us. We are happy to work
with any reputable journal that is willing to work with us. Rather, the barrier is the for-profit
publishing industry, academic societies, and researchers’ own investment in the current system. The barrier is the unwillingness to give up control, the unwillingness to move from a system of closely-held power by the few to a more distributed system of power among the many.“

Hear, hear!

I fully support PCI Psych. As explained in my personal reviewing policy (https://www.nicebread.de/posts/reviewing_policy.html), I will devote my reviewing and editing contributions nearly exclusively to diamond #OA and community-driven publication initiatives.
