sijifecUniversities in 'battle of the century' with journal publisher Elsevier
CatladyXfinally!
as a researcher I hate these companies so much… if it weren’t for sci-hub my work wouldn’t happen
we researcher provide the work, and the peer-review, and the editing, everything for free, and then these sharks such as elsevier steal it all and put it behind a paywall
it’s sickening
They don’t just steal it: They make you pay to publish (varies by journal/tier).
They they SELL ACCESS TO THE UNIVERSITY FOR THE ARTICLES THE REASERCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY WROTE.
It makes me sick. It also makes me wonder how e.g. the EU hasn’t gone in and made some system that can kill these sharks.
