@brembs@mastodon.social @villavelius@mastodon.online @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org It's really not a difficult concept, Björn. If funders mandate preprints and stop paying APCs but journals remain (despite people's best efforts to replace them), then the system will revert back to domination by closed access subscription journals.

@mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz @brembs@mastodon.social @villavelius@mastodon.online @Luke_Drury@mastodon.dias.ie @johannes_lehmann@fediscience.org I don't see that at all. The deal will be: if you want Gates money, you have to publish the resulting work as a preprint, end of. That is the version of record. (If you then want to also give it to a subscription journal, or pay an APC to put it in a Gold OA journal, feel free I guess.)
