Non-profit journals as a solution to open science?
Publishers charge researchers incredible amounts to remove paywalls from their own papers...and make unbelievable profits from doing so. Several have an >30% profit margin.
Initiatives such as @PeerCommunityIn provide an alternative: open access, non-profit journals that are free to publish in.

Recherche : le coût des publications scientifiques en accès ouvert en forte augmentation
Une étude commandée par le ministère de la recherche révèle que les montants pour frais de publication d’articles sont en forte hausse et conclut, qu’à terme, un changement de modèle économique s’impose.
Congratulations to the first five recipients of the Global Participation Fund “Community Development and Outreach” and “Technical Integration” grants! 🎉
We are excited to see these projects take off and encourage future applicants to stay tuned for more opportunities to submit proposals.
Look for the next round of applications in the spring. https://bit.ly/3ZLJqqB #openresearch

Whoa.
Manuscript sent to @ScienceDirect@twitter.com's International Journal of Hydrogen Energy gets desk-rejected because it did not have enough citations from its own journal.
That is one way to get an impact factor of 7.

Yes indeed, it is a long road until researchers take back the whole of their publishing activity. Yet, there is hope. For instance, in France, almost two thirds of the papers published in 2020 are open, and it is growing.
You can find all the details here, in French and in English : https://barometredelascienceouverte.esr.gouv.fr/
@rastinza @erinnacland @MatteoCarandini @academicchatter Do you mean Sci-Hub allows academics to keep publishing closed access, knowing that Sci-Hub gives free (but illegal) access?
A more hopeful reading is that free access, whether via PMC, self-archiving, authors emailing, or Sci-Hub, steadily undermines toll access and enables libraries to cancel or renegotiate Big Deals and move to a world of universal, immediate, open access. #OpenAccess
@rastinza @erinnacland @MatteoCarandini @academicchatter The alternative is called #openscience

#Twitter vs. #Mastodon: from #platforms to #protocols
«The reputational crisis caused in Twitter by Elon Musk’s erratic management, and the consequent loss of users and advertisers, raises concerns about the future of science communication on social networks».

Starting 2023, four universities are pausing or ending their Elsevier subscription due to exorbitant pricing.
Elsevier's subscription was costing them ~10% of their Libraries' entire budget.
"Elsevier’s prices have increased each year and have outpaced inflation"...this is despite Elsevier having the highest profit margins of virtually any other industry or publisher.
