15-20 years and science still hasn't solved the publishing problem. Shameful, or a sign of times
- periheli0n 6y agoPublishing is not the problem since we have the internet. The problem is the botched science career system, how performance of academics/researchers is evaluated, how anybody beneath the tenured academic is exploited. Publishing is just a decoy from this much larger problem.
- cblconfederate 6y agoBy publishing i meant editing, which is the only bit missing. How hard is it for major research associations to create publicly funded editorial boards to coordinate the (already free) authorship and reviewing
- periheli0n 6y agoThey are doing this, and they then team up with for-profit publishers to create a journal. Except for the "publicly funded" bit. I am not aware of public funds that would be available for editorial boards created by science organisations.
