While the differences are not huge, this is my ranking.
🥇SAGE performs best.
🥈Taylor & Francis comes second.
🥉Elsevier and Emerald share the third place.

👨‍💻 The table is based on my experience with Elsevier, SAGE, Taylor & Francis (T&F), Wiley, Springer, and Emerald, feat. criteria such as submission flexibility, article metrics, open access friendliness and reputation.

🎯 Key points
1️⃣ Flexibility & speed: Elsevier stands out.
2️⃣ Article metrics & proofing quality: SAGE and T&F offer good article metrics, SAGE and Emerald shine with proofing quality.
3️⃣ Rights retention/OA: SAGE and Emerald have strong rights retention, Springer leads OA-wise.

📚 In academic publishing, the publication venue strongly affects the work's visibility. Topical fit, prestige and impact matter most in submission decisions but something else often goes under the radar: the publisher role and user-friendliness.

‍🕵️ Having navigated the submission and publication process at major academic publishers, I've encountered large differences in their approach to submissions, publication speed, open access policies, and other factors.
Here's a comparison table and 🧵

@Lu_Tze We haven’t thought about the dimensionality of the privacy calculus itself though, so your comment is helpful. Are there cultural, economic, technological dimensions to the calculus, and do specific (e.g. economic) constrains relate more strongly to specific (e.g. economic) dimensions of the privacy calculus? That would be an interesting line to follow up and test empirically, maybe with a contextual comparison where the calculus takes place. Happy to hear your further thoughts!

@Lu_Tze Thank you very much for the kind and thoughtful feedback! My co-authors and I greatly appreciate it. This response is mostly based on Christian Hoffmann's thoughts (he's not on Mastodon) but reflects my view too.

Yes, those with more agency are more free to follow their privacy calculus. So if someone experiences less financial constraints, they are at more liberty to choose their subjectively ideal trade-off between providing data and enjoying services.

💬 We'd love to hear your thoughts and discuss ways to address privacy and agency challenges in today's digital society. How do you see these dynamics playing out?

🔍 Our article connects critical data studies with privacy research and adjacent literature, including an in-depth discussion and framework how interpersonal, cultural, technological, economic, and political constraints reduce users' privacy agency and might lead to cynicism - but in different ways depending on individuals' intersectional positionality. We also provide suggestions for breaking the cycle of disempowerment experienced by many, including technological, social and legal strategies.

✨ Excited to share our new paper, "Inequalities in Privacy Cynicism: An Intersectional Analysis of Agency Constraints," which was just published in Big Data & Society!

Christian P. Hoffmann, Giulia Ranzini and I examine how structural constraints limit user agency, leading to widespread privacy cynicism. Using an intersectional lens, we show the unequal impact constraints have on different social groups, thus shaping digital inequality. The article is freely available: https://lnkd.in/ehAYBT3B

@giovannamas Great, thank you so much!
@giovannamas That sounds super interesting and seems like really pioneering the digital nomad way of life! Do you have the PhD project or parts of it published? I'd love to find out more.
