Professor Noam Chomsky

"Very pleased to learn about this fine initiative, a most valuable way to bring to the general public the results of scholarly work. It's a cliché, but true, that we all stand on the shoulders of giants, and rely on the cultural wealth provided to everyone by past generations. It is only proper that the public should gain access to whatever contemporary scholarship can contribute, and the ideas outlined here seem to be a very promising way to realize this ideal."
Professor Adele E. Goldberg
Princeton University
"Language Science Press is setting a standard for freely accessible articles and books that are carefully reviewed."
Professor Steven Pinker
Harvard University
"Sharing data and methods is one of the pillars of scholarly inquiry. The knowledge created by scholars belongs to everyone, and open access publications are a major pathway to realizing that ideal. Language Science Press, together with Knowledge Unlatched, provides an excellent way for us to make our findings available to the global public."
Dr. André Gaul
CEO PaperHive

At PaperHive, we share their vision that openness and collaboration are the foundations of an efficient, transparent, and sustainable research process.
