The current scientific publishing system is bonkers.
New study: About half of surveyed conservation researchers (49%) said it was not easy, or not at all easy, to access research literature in their field.

@Carly_Batist @verissimodiogo YES! fwiw there's also another new article out that evidences access difficulties. Only half of conservation practitioners feel they have adequate access to research: https://t.co/04i4aedPXt
Half. We can do much better at making sure those who need #conservation science have easier access to it. @IUCN #openaccess https://t.co/BUkRv5Se2F https://t.co/53xmNdy0Va
Time wasted on finding free and accessible papers is valuable time wasted for conservation practitioners. Interesting new paper explores this issue & outlines ways for improvement https://t.co/6ZxxnaXHoJ
