So, when we have some result to publish we tend to submit it to specific, &#34;high reputation&#34; journals.<br/><br/>(2) A lot of these journals (for example: &#34;Nature&#34; or &#34;Cell&#34;) belong to for-profit editors like Nature Publishing group, Elsevier etc. <br/><br/>(3) The for-profit editors set up a very profitable system where authors / their university pay to publish AND pay to access the articles, the public also pays to read, while authors provide not only the contents but also the added value of publication - peer-reviewing - for free. <br/><br/>(4) By the way, this has been originally setup by Robert Maxwell, who is, guess what??, the father of Ghislaine Maxwell ([source](<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/jun/27/profitable-business-scientific-publishing-bad-for-science">https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/jun/27/profitable-business-scientific-publishing-bad-for-science</a> )]<br/><br/>(5) Many researchers do not seem to realise that this is an exploitative system based on smokes and mirrors (the quality of an article is unrelated to the &#34;reputation&#34; of the journal it&#39;s published in, and that &#34;reputation&#34; is not quantifiable anyway) so they keep publishing in these journals and some of them still use the journal names for hiring and promotion.<br/><br/>(6) Some journals are non-profit and propose good alternatives to the for-profit system (e.g. &#34;eLife&#34;); however many researchers avoid publishing there because they think it won&#39;t be useful to their CV. Some universities or funding organisations say that they do not care about the reputation system (DORA agreements) but the researchers still seem fixated on it.<br/><br/>(7) Some other journals are also non-profit (society journals like Journal of Neuroscience) but they still somehow make huge profits and their CEO / employees get paid a lot, so they don&#39;t actually seem that different to the for-profit..<br/><br/>(8) in summary, researchers want to publish in the for-profit journals because they think that these journals have better reputation and they increase our chances of getting jobs and funding. Many researchers believe in this &#34;reputation&#34; story and are either not aware of the exploitative aspects or do not really care about it. Alternatives are not perfect and have been mostly neglected...<br/><br/>*Disclaimer: this is just my point of view for the field of #Neuroscience*<br/><br/>What to do about it? That&#39;s probably for another post.. But personally I try not to publish in for-profit journals, and I prioritize reviewing for non-profit ones. <br/><br/>#AcademicChatter #PublicationEthics #Elsevier #Maxwell 2025-12-28T11:23:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszuqkl6nn6mw43cgwwgz8nfq4p622dce4tu30flhdeqymacqwmu0czyzznrj7keyqmugsqv3tfqgx6c52tj3dwwhumn4sja0e73z0dlmnr7zluy3u In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqspl8h2xkhr0mz7pwttge9sfptn778rvpgdgkazwqdfn67kazjaecsfp3jhv'>nevent1q…3jhv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thank you for answering. It is not so much about disrespect but more about trustworthiness - if you use fake images, without even indicating that they are fake (even if it is obvious), why should we trust that the other images, videos, or text that you post here are not fake? Maybe all of the other videos were fake too?<br/><br/>This is basically about journalistic ethics.

I know the #Fediverse has a lot of imagination.<br/><br/>Others can of course mute the hashtag ;)<br/><br/>Feel free to boost and let&#39;s do this!!<br/><br/>*And if you don&#39;t know what I&#39;m talking about..

I know that gmail is not private (google analyses the contents of the mails) but is Google document private?<br/>Otherwise is there an alternative to google docs that would actually be private? I imagine if it is private then it will not be free..<br/><br/>(Neuromethods is a discussion platform for when you have a problem or question about a #Neuroscience technique. It&#39;s on the free #Slack version so the history past 90 days is lost.
