Yes, and do not forget that Open Access costs between 2500$ and 9500$ because the essential point: if scientists do not publish from our PhDs then we do not get hired as postdocs, if we do not publish our postdoc work then we do not get fellowships, if we do not publish our fellowships then we cannot hope for stable jobs in research... and so on and so forth continues, until we retire. This system is driven by ambition, pride and jealousy. It is a sick and twisted machine.
Such timing, I just started a discussion about this subject in our university. I think the true future for science is to go the way of Open-source, like programmers already do.
The self-run model should be the norm going forward. Editorial boards need to quit more, as has happened in a couple of prominent cases (most recently, Neuroimage springs to mind). And prominent leaders in the field must acknowledge this issue more directly and accept alternative publishing venues. There are some journals in individual fields or groups of fields that have started to revolutionize the publishing machine somewhat and I hope this is the direction we'll go in in the future. I'll also happily pay or get funding for a small processing fee (500-ish dollars) to a more independent journal that doesn't use a publishing house middle man. It's time we realize that the work going into new journals that are helmed by some influential people in our field mean the same amount of work for us as authors and peer reviewers or guest editors, yet nobody profits and extorts the community for access to them! Now, hiring committees need to get with the program as do applicants and we all need to stop printing silly metrics like impact factors next to our publications. As if that's any sort of indication of quality.
I can't be wowed enough by the quality of the videos uploaded to this channel. Witnessing the birth of what I can only imagine will be a huge channel in the "great videos" space and being a part of the journey it's embarking on as a viewer is humbling and eye-opening. Keep up the ridiculously good work.
This was an absolutely brilliant video. The channel quality for such a low number of subscribers is amazing. Keep going. I would like to state one aspect of this which wasn't stressed enough. The peer review process. The biggest problem in this entire process. Peer reviewers do volunteer work. Peer reviewing an article is no easy task. It requires meticulous and thorough reading and checking the data to make sure nothing dubious is going on. Journals don't pay reviewers "to protect science" which is a garbage reason. They need to provide REAL incentive to peer reviewers. It's sad that people have to do this. Otherwise their CV will remain empty and would miss out on other opportunities.

This video deserves to be seen by everyone. . .science has become pinioned by money and exclusivity

Man this is a high quality video you need more subs and views. Hey can you make a video about NFTs?
Thanks! I made a video on NFTs a while ago. You can check it out!
I think you’d benefit from having sources in your description. I would liked to read more on this topic
Oh yeah
Villainous behavior! Thanks for sharing.
Looking for data behind this video...
Really interesting video, thanks for making such a quality content.
Thank you for watching!
Good video, but the beeping background music is so incredibly annoying.
Extremely well done. I’m going to go share this with my friends working in academia! Thanks
