is that just straight profit for the publishers then? I work in a field where we frequently purchase scientific articles and I was always curious what percentage the authors saw of those fees, I'm sad to learn it's nothing
Reminder: if you see a “pay $40 to read this scientific article,” $0 of that goes to the article’s authors. Which means it costs me nothing to send you a copy for free. Just email me and ask. I’m happy to help. So are many scientists i know.pic.twitter.com/bRdv77nJ5E

"It is as if the New Yorker or the Economist demanded that journalists write and edit each other’s work for free, and asked the government to foot the bill. Outside observers tend to fall into a sort of stunned disbelief when describing this setup."https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/jun/27/profitable-business-scientific-publishing-bad-for-science …

I had a long talk the other day with a friend who used to work for one of the companies that sells online journals/journal articles. Super infuriating to learn what their business plan is when all you want to do is gain some knowledge.

Is it bad to low key fan-girl scream when your favourite scientist sends you one of their papers to read? Asking for me.

Couldn't scientists start a Patreon type thing? A dollar a month gets you an article every month, five dollars gets you an article and a one hour q & a, ten dollars four articles and weekly q&A's etc? I'd be into that, coz I don't always understand the articles

....what? I genuinely don’t understand your question sorry. What problem does this solve? We aren’t paid by readers to write articles. Just email me and ask and I’ll send you articles for free.

Appreciate it. Can this go for not shark/ocean related things? I have celiac disease and I’m always trying to find and read the studies that do come out.

I’m not sure what you mean. I haven’t written any of those papers and therefore cannot send my papers on this topic. Can you ask people who have? Sure.

I always love when this gets promoted and shared because I didn’t know you could do this until grad school! Such an amazing piece of info to know!

I asked a doc(M.D.) at Duke for a copy of one of his one time, and he said he wasn't allowed to (which I knew wasn't correct.) I think he really just didn't know.

that is true in some cases. depends on the copyright assignment conditions imposed by the particular publisher/journal
