The issue with stuff that kills everything is that… Well it kills everything.

I’ve seen a couple active on Lemmy.world lately, but nothing out of the ordinary. They’ll be back though, one way or the other. We have to be aware of that.

You can see the content but not, afaik, move the community or take ownership of it. I’m afraid you’ll have to recreate it somewhere more stable.

- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
Nepotism still runs rampant in many academic fields, since the editors of those journals are also academics themselves, and not always the most ethical ones.
- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
I worked in academia. Everybody already has access to the texts (thanks to arxiv) where I did. And yet still publishing was the only way to gain legitimacy. This is the problem.

I’ve known tenured researchers that believed HIV did not exist so yeah, agreed.
- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
I’m afraid availability is not the issue here. Perceived legitimacy is.
In order to get a job (or simply to exist) in academia you must publish. There simply is no alternative. And so the greedy parasites will continue to be fed, whether or not the papers are available elsewhere.
- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
Alas they have not moved there. They use them for preprint, and sure you can get the exact text of what will become the printed paper most of the time, but they are still being forced to feed the greed machine.
- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
Same story here. This is sad as all hell.
- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
They are great at gaming that system and that system gives them the impression they are the most brilliant people to ever grace the earth. Don’t get me wrong, many are indeed brilliant, but the degree of self proving masochism that is academia would turn anyone into a raging narcissist.
- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
That is a very hasty and reductive opinion to my mind. While I absolutely agree with you on what the issue is, this is a complex problem and not a question of genital appendages.
It is impossible for young researchers to “earn” a permanent position without giving their soul and toil to this system. This makes sure that the people actually “succeeding” are the ones less likely to actually go against the system, since it benefited them. The ones that do try are hopelessly alone, and no amount of male gonads is going to help them change the culture.
- Comment on Publisher Wants $2,500 To Allow Academics To Post Their Own Manuscript To Their Own Repository 1 year ago:
A lot have in some capacity; see preprint servers like arxiv.org.
The problem is that without papers published in actual journals, you are literally worth nothing in academia. Nothing. Can’t stress this enough, publish or perish is no joke. You won’t get any kind of job without a stupidly high number of published papers. Young researchers have nowhere near the bargaining power to initiate any kind of change there. Neither do older ones, tbh.

Yeah, this should be illegal. This is a monopoly on steroids funded by taxpayer money.
