Scientists paid large publishers over $1 billion in four years to have their studies published with open access.
Nature Comms and Sci Reports cornering the market.
Open access = good.
Extortionate APCs with little or no actual editorial service = bad.
@weberam2 @xtaldave i like eLife and PLOS
the problem with Nat Comms is that their impact factor is massive. when i was still in academia and publishing regularly, the PIs all wanted to be in there. and it was really difficult. but when we got it, it usually made a huge splash.
