Hello everyone,
sorry for the shameless plug, but few days ago I published a long overdue
blogpost:
https://medium.com/@aubreymcfato/academic-publishing-sci-hub-and-the-ring-t…
I'm sharing this here because I'd welcome feedbacks on it: I spent a lot of
time trying to figure out *why* we're in this situation, and why we can't
get out of it.
I tried to frame academic publishing in terms of power, but I'm not sure I
succeeded.
My question always is: what are the power relationships that leads us to
the status quo? Why can't we change them?
Criticisms/feedbacks/suggestions are welcome.
Cheers
Andrea
