@NIH Except that the actual cost to do the work for institutions is much higher than 15%. Private foundations set their rate and universities eat that cost. 🙄

@NIH appears to have shut down several sites associated with helping those underrepresented in science get a toehold in research. They also shut down grant review today during application review for young promising scientists. Voters get what they deserve...Godspeed, idiots.

Amen to this, Editorial Board! "...above all, we felt like we were simply going through the motions of a futile race. We felt nothing." EDITORIAL: Trustee candidates lack concrete ideas, oblivious to real issues at MSU

This @JohnnyFoxe , right???
What does that all mean? You as a researcher pay to get access to your own work! You as a researcher review works of others for Elsevier journals for free! And if you want free access to your work, you pay about 1 month salary for one article! So, Non Solus (not alone)? We as researchers in the current academic publishing scheme are all alone. We or the society pays for a company to get rich. Elsevier has made significant contribution to science and knowledge acquisition, absolutely. But it is far away from altruistic goals for a global community but a raw and complex global company with monetary goals. The current system is INSANE, paying for your own article 6k$, just because you want everyone to get access to it? That's not open access, that's giving those who already have enough more advantages! And since when are we all ok that the state or societies (universities, libraries) pay a company to get access to works from their own faculty? When have we lost our pride and support for our researchers? The academic publishing scheme must CHANGE🙏 Thank you for reading the thread and happy to receive comments...

Too bad there are no allegations outlined in this article. I guess the journalist assumes everyone knows the story like I do.
