<p>Hi list-dwellers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>With apologies for any cross-posting.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>My latest piece is out in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/timeshighereducation/?__tn__=%2CdK-R-R&eid=ARBapf88MHoy7JL4dws2B2ad9qfZTBxyJ2oOCEoHstbXHGWK_vM5g0X8-46NoDB2uejDdSmzGiVdBZBk&fref=mentions">
Times Higher Education</a> today. It's something I've been wanting to write for a while now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Every year, we waste billions of euros of taxpayers money on inefficient systems with outrageous profit margins. When we KNOW there are more sustainable, non-profit, and more effective solutions out there.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The current model of scholarly publishing contains a disastrous blend of Stockholm Syndrome and cognitive dissonance. Researchers are helplessly locked into th<span class="gmail-textexposedshow">e system because of an over-reliance on journal brands for
their evaluations, including for promotion, grants and tenure. As such, we are forced to continue to support the notion that where we publish is more important than what we publish – despite all having been told as children not to judge a book by its cover.
I find it absurd that the most supposedly intellectual people in the world cannot find an evaluation system better than this.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p>We are continuing to actively work against efforts to return control of publishing to the academic community. "Plan S" does not seem to make this situation better. It is time to take a step back and to think again about what we really want.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Any thoughts or feedback on this would be deeply appreciated. Also, don't miss the
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QleYAELAiKY">latest video for the Open Science MOOC</a>, with Eloy Rodrigues from COAR!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Have a great day, all.<o:p></o:p></p>
