We at Mutual Interest are considering an article series of supporter(s) and skeptic(s) of MMT having a polite, informative discussion that people unfamiliar with the topic can enjoy.

Anyone interested?

We pay our writers, who also become member-owners if they write 2 articles in 3 months or 4 articles in 12 months.

DM me or email me at [email protected].

Let me introduce two groups.

First, OceanEditors.com (OE).
OE isn't software, but Fosstodon may still find it interesting.

OE is an English #language editing service for scholars. We're able to serve Chinese scholars (WeChat pay).

Our main challenge is finding clients. Any help in that regard would be appreciated.

OE does not pursue profit maximization for shareholders. Instead we provide better compensation for our editors. We aim to exit as a #workercoop.

"University of California terminates subscriptions with world’s largest scientific publisher in push for open access to publicly funded research"

UC terminates subscriptions with world’s largest scientific publisher in push for open access to publicly funded research

As a leader in the global movement toward open access to publicly funded research, the University of California is taking a firm stand by deciding not to renew its subscriptions with Elsevier. Despite months of contract negotiations, Elsevier was unwilling to meet UC’s key goal: securing universal open access to UC research while containing the rapidly escalating costs associated with for-profit journals.
