"we're sorry but your manuscript was a pdf but we prefer a word document, are you 100% sure you used latex?"
-
let me guess: they were asking you to pay them thousands to put your work on a website?
-
Do they get paid? I think not in that case. Open access but I think University pays them.
-
Depends on the journal, but yeah not only paid - academic publisher profits are *obscene* in general. 30-40%
-
Yeah just not directly off the grant.
-
open access central fund? makes the problem even worse ultimately I think, because the effects of price are distanced from person choosing
-
No idea, I'll check.
