Today, the #scholcommlab published a Statement of Support for PACBI Principles. With it, I reject my university's (SFU's) complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and call them out for restricting my ability to direct the work of @pkp.sfu.ca in a principled way. www.scholcommlab.ca/pacbi/

Expanded this study to 2,200+ journals=87% of NIH funded papers in 2025 so far. Blog post with @eschares.bsky.social @juancommander.scholcommlab.ca @lucyces.bsky.social and other #ScholCommLab members coming later today.
stefhaustein.scholcommlab.ca Stefanie Haustein @stefhaustein.scholcommlab.ca · Aug 6
Of the 199 journals, as little as 7% of journals/5% of papers would be fully covered by a $2k cap. 11% of journals/14% of papers wouldn't even make due with a $6k cap. A good place to remind ourselves of the disconnect between what it COSTS to produce a paper and what publishers CHARGE to do so..

Our #APC analysis preprint was cited in a Wall Street Journal story today, along with Elsevier's response.

A study recently estimated that the top five publishers earned nearly $9 billion in article-processing charges between 2019 and 2023. Elsevier alone collected an estimated $583 million in such charges in 2023, the authors calculated. The spokesman for Elsevier disputed the estimates but didn’t provide alternative figures for journal revenue.

The h-index is frequently used, but it has many shortcomings. Colleagues at #ScholCommLab made two educational videos explaining why it should never be used in isolation when evaluating researchers. Read more in our guest blog by @stefhaustein.scholcommlab.ca & team sfdora.org/2025/04/07/i...
