NEW: Statement from the PCI RR Managing Board on the withdrawal of Infant and Child Development as a PCI RR-friendly journal, and the decision by Wiley to refuse preprints that have been peer-reviewed by @peercommunityin.bsky.social / @pci-regreports.bsky.social

Read here ➡️ osf.io/tn8mh
In 2024, Infant and Child Development (ICD) withdrew as a PCI RR-friendly journal and reneged on three Stage 1 recommendations issued by PCI RR. In addition, Wiley – the publisher of ICD – notified PCI RR and the PCI core team of its decision to withdraw all Wiley journals from PCI and PCI RR, including an additional 9 PCI-friendly journals. Finally, Wiley appears to have banned all of its ~1600 journals from considering submissions that have been previously reviewed by PCI or PCI RR. This statement explains the history of ICD joining PCI RR and developments that led to the current outcome. The PCI RR Managing Board believes that this shift in policy to become “PCI-hostile” renders Wiley journals incompatible not only with community-based preprint review but with preprint archiving in general.

It's blimming awesome that AMPPS is a PCI RR -friendly journal. @pci-regreports.bsky.social The peer reviews for this paper were impressively rigorous and constructive; one of the reviewers even suggested code for an improved analysis. I'd love to see more journals become PCI RR friendly.

💬 Does a PCI recommendation mean that my paper is published?
No. A PCI recommendation is the outcome of a positive and public peer-review process.

Once your preprint has been recommended, you can choose what comes next!

Are you a journal editor in Psychology? There's a lot you can do to help support PCI Psych! PCI Psychology is a journal-independent peer review platform where journal editors like you evaluate and recommend preprints, that can then be published in PCI-friendly partner journals. 1/🧵 #PsychSciSky
