While prior analyses based on selective indexes reinforced the perception of an oligopoly [...], examining diverse national contexts reveals a more pluralistic reality."

- I received two book chapter invitations on the same day. One gives a 5-day window from submission to publication. The other outlines a 2-year process with clear milestones: draft writing, reviews, revisions, and editing. The difference speaks for itself.
- We keep talking about the problem of questionable publishing—but let’s not forget, the reason it exists is because there’s a market for it. As long as there are people willing to pay for shortcuts, someone will offer them.

- Reposted by Zehra TaşkınNote: the academic community was paying billions to publishers before OA existed. OA models make these costs more apparent, but don't make publishing cheaper. Diamond OA might, let's see! [Nb2: figs here are overestimates. Can't account for waivers, discounts, or transformational-agreements].

- Reposted by Zehra TaşkınA very important paper by @zehrataskin.bsky.social & al. on the distribution of journal publishers, especially on copublications (say a learned society + a commercial publisher) which is the case for 1/3 of the journals. Only WoS but still more than 21K journals. #STS osf.io/preprints/so...
