Response to proposed new rules for federal funding of scientific research

As a mission-driven publisher with a steadfast trust in the peer review process, and an unwavering commitment to the free exchange of ideas, 快色直播 stands in solidarity with the Association of University Presses (AUPresses) and the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) in their opposition to the White House Office of Management and Budget鈥檚 proposed new rules for federal funding of scientific research. We agree wholeheartedly with the AUPresses鈥 assertion that 鈥減olitical litmus tests must not replace peer review as certification of research quality鈥 and that any efforts to curtail the freedom of inquiry and the open exchange of ideas are a violation of First Amendment rights. 

鈥淯niversity presses assert that researchers must be freely able to conduct, collaborate on, share, review, and discuss their research, including accurate and comprehensive government research and data. University presses are dedicated to preserving the integrity, rigor, and reliability of the scholarly record and to stewarding it responsibly, not only for today鈥檚 scholars and readers but also for future generations. University presses will continue to champion the freedom to think, research, publish, read, and teach as pillars of an open and just society.鈥
