🌟Hello #AcademicMastodon🌟

I'm Hannah and currently working on the research project to understand the role of #Mastodon in #academia during my internship here.

How MIT copes without Elsevier

MIT leaders describe their experience of not renewing the largest journal contract as "overwhelmingly positive". Read what happened after they cancelled.

#FAIR#OpenScience#OpenAccess

I am looking for a (preferably derogatory) term to evoke the steaming, interconnected mess of for-profit academic publishing, research-institution and funding-body selection criteria, and research career structure.

I was thinking of something like an analogue to "military-industrial complex" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military%E2%80%93industrial_complex) - so something like "academic-publishing research-institution industrial complex".

I would greatly appreciate suggestions for a name for this.
