@mike@sauropods.win @brembs@mastodon.social Hehe, indeed - we’ll find out if Elsevier suddenly realises it could lower APCs. The Gates Foundation is so large (70B$) that even the publisher conglomerates pale in comparison. @mattjhodgkinson@scicomm.xyz Yes, your points are valid & should be discussed, but to quote the Gates Foundation: “New, more equitable models have not gained traction because publishers […] have pushed back when revenue is threatened”. Why wait and waste funds on Springer profits instead of mosquito nets?
