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 …
I agree on both accounts, as I think everything should be open access. But you mention open access to some of these people and they say well how will we be paid?

It can be complex I suppose, but my personal feeling is that the time and resources needed to produce the output/engagement/paper should be costed in as part of the particular project from the very outset. As in there is no point doing the work if no-one knows what it is.

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.
