Science of the total environment (elsevier) gets deindexed.

An alternative is to publish in more society journals (when possible).
The fall of a prolific science journal exposes the billion-dollar profits of scientific publishing
One of the 15 publications that put out the most studies globally has been expelled from the indexing system for irregularities. Its publisher, Elsevier, has a 38% profit margin that reached $1.5 bill...

Excellent thread on what is going on at academic journals, from the perspective of an editor.

Clearly highlights the strain (direct.mit.edu/qss/article/...) caused by quantitative incentives, and that publishers cannot be allies in solving the mess -- they are part of the problem & profit from it.

24 July is #EarthOvershootDay. That means humanity has used up Earth’s yearly natural resources budget in just 7 months. In 2024, the date was 1 August.

The date keeps creeping earlier—but the trend can be reversed: www.genevaenvironmentnetwork.org/resources/up...
