I inquired about the status of a manuscript I submitted to a regional journal 170 days ago. Apparently they are still looking for a second reviewer! #AcademicChatter #AcademicPublishing

It would be so much nicer if, rather than forcing volunteer editors and reviewers to hunt for spelling mistakes and bullying authors for making them, scientific publishers could just pay for some proper proof editors, like magazines in any other industry.
It shouldn't be about being perfect; it should be about having a support system in place to pick you up when you aren't.

Would it not be nice if the aim was to make the world a better place and not to game the system? #ScientificPublishing #AcademicPublishing #PeerReview #AcademicSuccess #academiahttps://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2844042

Scientific publishing may be the biggest scam you've never heard of. A billion-dollar industry built on free labor and public money—then sold back to us at a markup. It's not just broken. It's sabotaging progress.
