Oh, #Elsevier möchte in einer Umfrage wissen, wie toll ich es finde, dass sie #AI in alles hineinstopfen werden und wollen mich auswählen lassen, welche Vorteile ich alle durch #KI sehe.
Spannend, dass es nicht mal die Möglichkeit gibt es nicht toll zu finden.

Bleib ich halt bei #BoycottElsevier.

Update. "Since 2017, the #UK has mandated organisations employing more than 250 people to publicly report their annual #gender#PayGap…Every science publisher pays men more than women. In 2024, the lowest median pay gap favouring men was 9.5% ( #SpringerNature), followed by #Sage (13.3%), #Wiley (17.7%), and #Informa (formerly Taylor & Francis) (22.7%). #Elsevier remains an outlier in the magnitude of its gender pay gap and in the lack of progress. Eight years ago Elsevier stood out among publishers, with a median pay gap in 2017 of 40.4% in favour of men over women in its UK business…Elsevier’s median pay gap for 2024 is 32.8%, maintaining its position as worst performer among peers over all eight years of mandatory reporting."

The editorial board of the 52-yr old Journal of Human Evolution just resigned to protest #Elsevier's interference with editorial practices, reducing journal quality, and insistence on a high #APC ($3990), reducing its affordability to authors in the field. "We all care deeply about the journal, our discipline, and our academic community; however, we find we can no longer work with Elsevier in good conscience."

There's no sign yet that the editors will launch a new #OpenAccess journal somewhere else. So I've not yet added it to the #OAD list of journal #DeclarationsOfIndependence

#Resignations

Mass resignation of the editorial board of the Journal of Human #Evolution. #Elsevier has gone bad. Very bad, in fact.
