Imagine if you make preprints and have them freely and transparently peer review with @peercomjournal.bsky.social ? 😇😇
Between 2019 and 2023, researchers paid $8.968 billion to make papers open access. Imagine what else could be done with this money if it wasnt paid to for profit publishing companies...
