As I mentioned, my article on presupposition accommodation appeared recently in Philosophical Perspectives, the annual supplement to Noûs. The article is in good company, as you’ll see when you look at the Table of Contents. Nevertheless, I should not have published the paper there.
The problem is that I signed a publication agreement (imposed by Blackwell, or rather their overlords, Wiley) that gives me the right to share the preprint of the article with colleagues except that I can’t put it online until 24 (!) months after publication:
That’s really unacceptable and I should not have accepted it. So, here’s my public pledge: I will not publish under any agreement in the future that doesn’t allow me to share (at least) the preprint freely online.
Unfortunately, since I’m the editor of the open-access journal Semantics and Pragmatics, I can’t go to the ideal situation myself yet (until someone starts an open-access competitor to our journal). But you can! Please submit your best work to open access journals so that we can get rid of these kinds of impediments to free scientific communication.
