Cost of scholarly publishing: Different scenarios of journal organization, ordered by total per article costs (in USD) and devided up according to direct, non-direct and staff expenses — https://t.co/7Cgxi7OVH1 https://t.co/rasVcvunyS
@PubtechR @GinnyBarbour @PLOS @scholarlykitchn Good point, to find out, I would like also to compare with the concrete numbers for publication cost which Björn @Brembs and I worked out in a recent paper: https://t.co/7Cgxi7OVH1

@TAC_NISO @arxiv I don't disagree with any of this, but even if you take all of this into account, the "not free but still even less than 'limited'" statement holds:

and thereby prevent modern infrastructure from being implemented, e.g.

Yes, academic publishing is insanely profitable.
@BerndPulverer @brembs @lisalibrarian @Protohedgehog @SciPubLab Bernd,
1. Could you imagine to have a section with news etc, available only for subscribers, and a Gokd OA section with articles and reviews?
2. it's not a comparison to preprint servers I am striving for, but with the results of this paper https://t.co/L8puzwhnE5
