Interested in an article but can't access it? Try your institution login! Oh, institution hasn't subscribed it? Try emailing the authors! Oh, no reply from any of them for weeks? Look for its preprint! Oh, no luck there? Get in touch with the librarian for an inter-library loan! Gets paper after weeks of waiting and 3 reminders! Reads... WAIT A MINUTE, Methods section refers to another publication... Checks: it's another paywalled article MO#$%F&@# !! #academicresearch #openaccess

Dear researchers, I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.

Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):

  1. #microalgae
  2. #molecularbiology
  3. #crispr
  4. #sustainability

#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia

Please #boost so I can reach other academics.
