Akademik yarış, yayın baskısı ve şaibeli dergiler: Bir sistem sorgulaması - Sarkaç
Akademide bilginin izini süren araştırmacı kimliği ile yalnızca yayın üretmeye odaklanan performansçı kimlik arasındaki sınırlar giderek bulanıklaşıyor.

I received two book chapter invitations on the same day. One gives a 5-day window from submission to publication. The other outlines a 2-year process with clear milestones: draft writing, reviews, revisions, and editing.

Note: the academic community was paying billions to publishers before OA existed. OA models make these costs more apparent, but don't make publishing cheaper. Diamond OA might, let's see!
