OT: This should honestly be a criminal offense, at least if done before a year passes. The publisher does valuable work in vetting contributions and checking the paper before publishing. They shouldn't be cheated out of their fair share of money that comes with due process just because authors go rogue.
- vidarh 7y agoIf "authors go rogue" they have recourse today. But determining whether or not authors have "gone rogue" depends on their agreement with the publisher. You do not have a basis for claiming they have done so unless you know whether or not they have obtained permission or whether or not they never handed over rights in the first place.
- tecleandor 7y agoCan't really say if this is sarcasm or not, but journals are paid to do that checking, it's not free, and they use unpaid people for peer review, so I'd say they aren't really losing money.
