    Remember when “woke” was used in memes like this, and not as a thought-terminating cliché by extremist bigots to hide their bigotry behind concerns?

      I get that it’s a fee to safely archive and copy papers properly, with maybe access control and logging. I don’t see the fees updating with the times , even if they’re still maintaining archives with paper copies as well.

          And more specifically, a bunch of parasites that demand to be paid a hundred times what the people who do all work start crowding around the trough, even before the stockholders get their cut.

    I imagine this would be the most efficient way to do science if it weren’t for the effectiveness of collaboration that, regrettably, demands the presentational overhead.

      What if there was a bunch of lemmy instances for scientists to post journals on and the other scientists could up/downvote and roast the other scientists work publicly.
