🌱 Huge thanks to everyone who helped launch our new OHM Council Series! 🙏 It was great to share space with such a diverse group, across different backgrounds and locations. I’m beyond excited for this next phase — launching a hands-on experiment to collectively define OHM’s values for the year ahead. We’re growing OHM from the ground up — embedding our shared values into its core. 💠 This is an open call for anyone who wants to be part of that process. Beginning this Monday 10am UTC. 👇 Details in the video Let’s grow the future we want to see — together. 💜🌱
37 OHM-azing humans kicked off our new Council Series this week! We met, shared, and outlined plans for the year. Missed it? Here's the recording: 📷 youtube.com/watch?v=t31ejey_… Next up: a hands-on experiment to choose our collective values for OHM (Monday). Link in shownotes 👇

People, just stop doing Frontiers special issues. Find a nice diamond open access journal, and self-publish and collaboratively peer review the set of papers you all want to write. Do not give Frontiers money. If anything, they hurt your reputation. MDPI is even worse.

In tijden van bezuiniging kan de academische wereld veel geld besparen door commerciële uitgevers links te laten liggen en over te stappen op Diamond Open Access. Nederland zou hierin een voortrekkersrol moeten pakken, vinden Wim Pouw en Bert Bakker. voxweb.nl/nieuws/bezuinigen-…

This invitation from MDPI to publish in their new journal called Metrics, after they carefully reviewed my "impressive" work about narrative CVs... which are intended to fight against the misuse of metrics... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Acceptance to publication in 5.8 days 🤷‍♀️

Academics, what makes you still stay here with this app riddled with mysogyny and right wing propaganda? What makes you publish with journals that are known to extract extreme profits from little value added? We really have a problem of collective (in)action

And *that* is the trick. One journal keeps very high standards & reputation high. The rest of the franchise free rides on that reputation to get $ in. And as scientists we fall for it like flies -- because it gives us the possibility of free riding on that reputation too. 🤷

To be fair, Nature has maintained about the same number of articles over the years, while Nature Comms had abt 60x increase and Scientific reports abt 125x increase in the number of articles (since 2010 ish).

Publishing science in an effective, reliable and fair way costs money. But the world would be better off if we stopped treating publishing as a transaction and instead treated it as a centrally funded resource with no financial barriers ever for either publishing or reading.
There are costs involved in running an academic journal. Either the reader has to pay those costs, or the author has to pay them. Personally, I like to get wide readership of my articles, so I pay the Open Access fee, which is often between $1000-$2000.
