@aj_boston@hcommons.social Interesting analysis, pulling different perspectives together. I agree that there are clear and immediate benefits to a preprint mandate even if publishers will still try (and likely succeed) to extract profit from the system. I’m a bit more pessimistic about “[most researchers] think of publication as a necessary distraction […] away from doing actual research”. I feel that after such long reign of “publish or perish”, publications are firmly rooted as the end goal in many minds.
