A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
if academic publishing doesn't drastically change their bullshit busted ass business model, they're giong to go the way of cable tv and lose all their buyers to OER. and i'm here for it. fuck elsevier and all the rest of them
If Elsevier and the other major academic publishers are the cables in this metaphor, what is the closest equivalent to early-Netflix?
ArXiv?
I'd say arXiv would be piracy in the analogy; free, convinient and supported by contributors. Early netflix would be like researchgate; for profit trash scam site.
