For-profit journals are supposed to improve research quality, yet they're perversely incentivized to churn out whatever they can monetize. This was happening before AI (see Strain: bit.ly/43gJPUM), and AI will make it worse.
It's insane that we volunteer our time to help them do so.

it's already great to admit it and still time to quit free labor for journals that are for-profit 🙃 as a young scientist I feel it's hard to avoid completely submitting in these journals, but I feel no pressure to review or edit there... If all good editors move, then their model will crash...

refusing to use ERC public money funding to publish in for-profit journals like Nature would also work... Just saying 😁 #ScientificPublishing #AcademicSky bsky.app/profile/hans...
If I could change one thing about #ScientificPublishing I'd ask funding bodies to stipulate all work they fund be published in non-profit journals.
The knock-on effects would alleviate most of the strain on #AcademicSky.
This isn't hard. It's big, but actually, it's pretty easy.

There is one for neuroeconomy as well:

This further hilights the role of the dmPFC/dACC in the motivation to engage with effortful tasks as well as the importance of metabolic components in motivation. A big thanks to @carmensandi10.bsky.social for her supervision in this project and to all collaborators for making it possible! 2/2
