- StableAlkyne 1y agoThe difference is that while indirect costs are critical to research in most cases, journals are the poster child when it comes to skimming research funding. They provide little to no real value beyond a CV trophy and only carry out the bare minimum to coordinate peer review. Their largest impact is siphoning tens of thousands of dollars from labs, and millions from cash-strapped university libraries. Even if the current administration wasn't attacking university funding, the publishing system is in desperate need of reform.
