"We should also optimize the publication model and allow more publications in which studies are accessible free of charge for both authors and readers. When I talk to former fellow students, many of whom work in the financial sector, they shake their heads when I tell them about the logic of the funding model in academia: Scientists give their work to a journal for free and then universities have to pay these publishers to publish a study and give them access to these publications."

"We should also optimize the publication model and allow more publications in which studies are accessible free of charge for both authors and readers.

"Reviews are also produced free of charge, and editors often work without pay. This is how journals and publishers make a profit based on the prestige of their journals and the pressure to publish. This must change. But instead of resolutely tackling such systematic errors, we still talk too much about individual misconduct." (Anna Abalkina, in F&L interview, translated with DeepL)
