New open access rpa_red of English and Spanish journals of social sciences

[Baltasar Fernández-Ramírez]

rpa_red is the acronym of our recently created Network of Open Academic Journals, joining several OA Spanish and English social siences journals. The main goal of the initiative is help the RPA members to gain in visibility and to make them a voice in claiming in favor of free thought, free formats, innovation in epistemic and method orientations. Severely pressed by the policy of impact indexes, our universities are now forgotting free thought and free access to knowledge that used to be among their noble ideals. Young authors and critics find hard difficulties to publish innovative ideas and methods when dealing with the rigid formats and rethorics of mainstream sciences.

RPA policy and members (Spanish version, translation on demand) can be consulted in  http://www2.ual.es/RedURBS/BlogURBS/rpa_red/

Suggestions, ideas, and conversations are wellcomed.
