As some others have already pointed out, these prices were there before open access; they were just baked into subscriptions. The second best thing OA did was to make these numbers evident to everyone, not just to the libraries footing the bill.
Science publishing is NOT a pyramid scheme. NOBODY is being scammed. We all KNOW what's going on and yet we DELIBERATELY continue to participate in the theft of billions of dollars of public funds and the crippling of science.
Weird getting an email with a $10K bill for a journal publication fee, followed by an email requesting to review a paper for the same journal for free. Feels like being a victim in some kind of a pyramid scheme
Our article 'Open access research outputs receive more diverse citations' has been published in @Scientometrics Bottom line: OA = greater diversity* in researchers using and citing research. *countries, regions & disciplines. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
This week is the International Open Access Week! Join us on October 25th, 1:30-4:30 pm, at Room G26 Murray Library for an afternoon filled with games, prizes, and fun activities. Learn more about the scary prices we pay to access and publish research: usask.libwizard.com/f/price-of-kno…
"The rights belong to the author and it should stay that way. No researcher should have to give them away, and certainly not be asked to pay $2,500 to get them back." 👏👏👏
What’s behind the new zero-embargo policy by @ACSPublications? @SallyRumsey1 takes a closer look at it and explains how such an increasingly outdated stance hinders authors from retaining their rights. ✍️coalition-s.org/blog/american-… #AcademicPublishing #RetainYourRights #OpenAccess

Loving this piece by Moumita Koley in @ISC "With exorbitant subscription fees, restrictive copyright policies, and limited access to research data, commercial publishers have long controlled academic publishing." council.science/current/blog/u…

@mchris4duke Stressing that we (library community) are repeating same mistake: By signing the read and publish agreements libraries are again taking the burden of changing the system without asking scholars to get engaged and change their behaviour. #LIBER2023 #OpenScience
"Libraries will find it difficult to take risks if they do not detect any broad appetite in their communities for these risks to be taken... Research committees need to proactively endorse a course of action rather than wait to be consulted upon a negotiation." by @tweeterbarr

With more than two billion dollars in annual revenue, Elsevier’s profit margin approaches 40 percent—rivaling that of Apple and Google. Public money and federal grants are being drained by exorbitant publishing fees. bit.ly/3N45Q2g
NATIONAL WALKOUT FAQ We wanted to address some frequently asked questions: - We're targeting the Canadian government, NOT institutions - The walkout, and future SOS advocacy, includes Tri-Agency scholarships, fellowships, AND GRANTS! #SupportOurScience
“Community over Commercialization” is the theme for #OAWeek 2023 This year’s theme seeks to encourage a candid conversation about which approaches to open scholarship prioritize the best interests of the public and the academic community—and which do not. openaccessweek.org/theme/en
