📢 Schweizer Hochschulen setzen Deal mit Wiley aus

Ohne Einigung endeten die Verhandlungen zwischen swissuniversities & #Wiley. Folge: Kein Open-Access-Publizieren & eingeschränkter Zugang zu neuen Artikeln. Grund sind laut swissuniversities zu hohe Preise pro Artikel. Forschende an Schweizer Hochschulen sollen Alternativen zu Wiley wählen & auf Green Open Access setzen.

open-access.networkKein Deal mit WileySchweizer Hochschulen setzen Verhandlungen aus

I'm trying to read a #Neuroscience paper published by #Wiley and it's showing me a banner that says only "healthcare professionals" should be reading the paper. What's up with that? Researchers are not allowed to read papers anymore? 🤔

Impossible to find a way to contact Wiley about it, but maybe someone out there will know them and might be able to ask what is happening?

The paper: Locomotor action sequences impact the scale of
representation in hippocampus and posterior parietal cortex

"Between 2019/20 and 2022/23, the University [of Cambridge] paid £12.6M to seven major commercial #publishers: #Elsevier, #Wiley, Taylor & Francis, #Springer, #Sage, Oxford University Press (#OUP), and Cambridge University Press (#CUP). This was the highest expenditure among 21 UK #universities that provided data."

Good to see: "This month, _Advanced Genetics_ is joining other #Wiley journals in implementing a “Mandates Data Sharing” policy…We and the other participating journals require that authors openly share data underlying their publications and upgrade our editorial workflows to better support data sharing and optional data peer-review. This initiative covers 88 Wiley Journals…across various fields."

“You reap what you sow. On average, publications from #MDPI may be less complex, but there is also a lot of nonsense from the other publishers (#Elsevier, #Wiley, #Springer, etc.) MDPI is unbeatably fast. When you consider that feedback from other publishers sometimes takes over 12 months (not because there are so many iterations, but because there is no feedback) and we are constantly forced to publish quickly […], MDPI simply takes advantage of the system we have created.”

Ein #Professor der #University of #California hat eine #Sammelklage gegen sechs große #akademischeVerlage, darunter #Elsevier und #Wiley, eingereicht. Die Klage wirft ihnen vor, durch wettbewerbswidrige Praktiken die wissenschaftliche #Forschung zu behindern und dabei enorme #Gewinne auf Kosten der #Akademiker zu erzielen. Kritisiert werden unentgeltliche #PeerReviews, das Verbot der Mehrfach-Einreichung von Manuskripten und lange #Begutachtungszeiten.
