Actually, this is a library subscription-based model from what I can tell, and not a commons-based model so still vulnerable to university funding fluctuations.

Thanks. I think we also need an independent abstracting and indexing system as the legacy databases like Scopus etc. make it difficult for Diamond OA journals to be included.

Absolutely right. But the view that learner mistakes are the driving force is still very prevalent in Lang Dev and Generative circles, and this is our target audience. Hence pub in Psych Review. Our aim was to systematically dismantle the arguments that lead to this mistaken conclusion.

Fair point! We know that sociolinguists are well aware of these dynamics but the field of language development is still very much invested in the idea that kid's mistakes (and learning constraints more broadly) are the main driver of change. So in a way that is the target audience.
