Kudos to the editors of the 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘓𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤, published by #SpringerNature, who just resigned to launch a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics, published by @openlibhums.

PS: Will this kind of slipshod practice decline on its own? Or does it require publicity and public shaming? I don't know. But I'm grateful to @retractionwatch for turning on its spotlight.

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."
