I just don't understand how so much academic output was ceded to private companies with no benefit to the people actually doing (and even funding!) the work. I get it when it's for physical books, but not pdfs etc. Surely there should be a freely accessible state version?https://twitter.com/LMcAtackney/status/1308184448173854721 …

Not to mention many presses demand that academics pay the presses to publish.

I was in the middle of the nonsense because it was my friend who asked for a PDF, and I can tell you the amount of goalposts being moved and a persistent deliberate ignorance as to why the PDF was needed and that it’s about not having access to the library was ignored.

as to all the tweets about pdf file sharing like its a bad thing. Who wouldn’t do it? I’m assuming this is why certain publishers won’t let us have final proofs for OUR OWN WORK lest we share it.
