Can you use AI tools to covert Typst to Latex? That would remove the acceptance issue.

Indeed, that was my confusion, thanks!

I can also tell from my own experience that an average doctor in Thailand's backwater is better than in the capital of Ireland.

I have just tried it in REPL and got this cryptic error: cljs.user=> (defmacro swap [x] (list (second x) (first x) (last x))) #'cljs.user/swap cljs.user=> (swap (1 + 2)) Execution error (Error) at (<cljs

Is there a way to simplify the `swap` function? E.g. in JavaScript it is just swap = (x,y,...rest) => [y,x,...rest]

It is waiting list, not a product.

Ha, sounds familiar. :) I wonder for how long we'll be able to use Gmail before it follows the G+ road.

In fact, as are all journals from Free Journal Network https://freejournals.org/ , of which SIGMA is a member.

Which is more headache for the applicant, fewer grants to award and less funds going to science proper.

Finally something useful they did -- helped the student :)

This was the case 30 years ago when publishing was expensive. Today this should be a button click in a fully automated system. Which is not to say, societies don't benefit from the system -- they actually get a lot of $$ from it. The s

Having published over 50 research papers, I've never experienced any value from the journal's so-called typesetting. In fact, that "value" was typically strictly less than zero with all their newly introduced typos and m

Then mathematics must also be different. And physics. And many other areas. How come the journal costs are still as high there?

It is public information, how can they not know it?

Because "services" by the likes of E are of no value to CS professors designing some of the much more advanced software. But they are sadly focusing on their own journals and not trying to help the other subjects.

Because ironically, and despite of all the good words, this is not what is typically rewarded by their universities.

How can you tell it is not been read?

by dmitriz 7y ago
It is already being tried with Plan S. But the problem is to choose the right alternative, of which the alternative pay-to-publish model isn't. https://gitlab.com/publishing-reform/discussion/issues/86

What sort of value have they been creating?
26.
by dmitriz 7y ago
Very true, this is precisely the problem. Editors don't leave E's journals' boards because it might hurt their vitae. Referees don't decline to work for E's journals (for free) because it might hurt their relations

All of them use the same process.

All articles are already assured to get salvaged via services like LOCKSS, CLOCKSS, and Portico. All we need is to have them go bankrupt, preferably fully, so stories like that won't repeat: https://gitlab.com/publishin

This might help to understand E's "logic" :) "Would you buy the world a drink?" - is there merit to Elsevier logic? https://gitlab.com/publishing-reform/discussion/issues/104

Of course they won't do it as that would show the world the other 99% of their journals are in fact old rubbish. And they don't buy us drinks as we know... https://gitlab.com/publishing-reform/discussion/
