👏👏👏

You might ask: why not submit to a journal? We have too many talented scientists, and too precious little funding, to tolerate the current academic standard of publish-or-perish. We should build an impact-centric nonprofit research culture where we instead publish-and-persist.

This speaks volumes for what the journal actually cares about. #DubiousValueAdd

This especially irks me regarding perspectives. These are typically short pieces & the publisher is not doing much - these aren't peer reviewed. Why does the publisher need copyright?

This is an excellent, balanced overview of the good, the bad and the ugly of #openaccess from Chris Bennett Cambridge University Press #uksg2024

This is really heartening to see! This is the type of experimentation that can lead to meaningful change and impact. reviewcommons.org/blog/developme…
