We have received plenty of criticisms on our preprint detailing how much it actually costs to make a scholarly article public

We took all of it to heart and have now submitted a much improved and shortened version to @F1000Research

@msandstr @researchremix @SciPubLab Well, it's been around for a long time as a preprint:
https://t.co/fXk1m0TwTm
We just shortened it considerably. Let's see what happens and what the reviewers will say.

@EtzrodtMartin @mbeisen @rsidd120 @StevenSalzberg1 @PLOS @eLife @Filecoin @IPFS @iscc_foundation @soenkeba As I mentioned in the thread, you can just look the market rates for different steps up. We have done that and summarized the individual cost/step here: https://t.co/GtzRD0CM5g
Let service providers compete for publishing our papers and prices should come down closer to costs.

@EtzrodtMartin @mbeisen @rsidd120 @StevenSalzberg1 @PLOS @eLife @Filecoin @IPFS @iscc_foundation @soenkeba How can institutions keep paying for publication costs? By exerting price pressure towards a costs-based pricing scheme. Current publication costs are about 10% of current pricing:
https://t.co/GtzRD0CM5g
Which means there currently is no price pressure:

@albertcardona @StephenEglen We also took all the steps needed to publish a scholarly article, looked up the market rates for each step, added some fixed costs and found out that you can run a Nature-type journal with publishing costs of about 1k:

@eugenevalkov @PlantEvolution @nature We have tabulated the steps of publishing a scholarly article, looked up the market rates for each step and added the fixed costs. We found that costs range from under US$200-1k:

Anything more is a rip-off.

@sylvain_baillet @ElDuvelle @nature Sounds good and pretty close to what we have argued would be the costs of highly selective journals:

@statsguyuk @DoctorZen 3k is still about 6 times more expensive than it would need to be:
