Procurement Before Prestige

How audit rules and public infrastructure could break science’s publishing monopolies. An English version of my post for the Verfassungsblog from December 19, 2025. Scientific journals that feel straight out of 1665, prices that could come from a MrBeast meet-and-greet, privacy as lax as Facebook, and reliability as dubious as a TikTok lifehack: it was long past time for the EU to free science—if anyone would let it.

@adamshostack @vardi @tychotithonus I believe our publications should not be in the hand of a single institution. #arXiv, #OpenResearchEurope (https://open-research-europe.ec.europa.eu/) or even better a distributed/federated repository run by universities would be a better solution. In terms of editing, at least in CS, publishers don’t add value but friction (it’s outsourced to underpaid workers who add unnecessary mistakes and are impossible to communicate with), so this step can probably discarded. Indexing is still largely controlled by the big publishers (#scopus), so we need open alternatives (such as #dblp).
