You’re telling me SpringerNature doesn’t need to charge $13,000 a paper for Nature Plants? I’m shocked!
What is the most profitable industry in the world, this side of the law? Not oil, not IT, not pharma.
It's *scientific publishing*.
We call this the Drain of Scientific Publishing.

Praising your made up #OpenScience credentials while charging over £2k in apc fees. Clever scam from SpringerNature, enabled by us academics.

Remember that meta-study of ChatGPT effects on learning that got retracted by SpringerNature recently? Here's a new paper showing why it and others like it can't be trusted due to serious issues with the underlying literature. Bluntly put, they're meta-reviews of junk science

Just another example why large academic publishers such as SpringerNature are still (a big) part of the problem and not the solution in contemporary academia.
This has just been published in “Theory & Society” (formerly) considered THE top #sociology /theory journal, after Springer Nature redid the board, installing Steven Pinker among them. Shame shame shame

Apparently, there is still funding left in academia even though Springer Nature made $489 million profits off of it in 2024. And now they are telling researchers what great news that is.

Dans certains cas, les ouvrages sont chers. Je serais curieux de savoir quel part du prix part aux auteurs, et quelle part aux bénéfices de la maison d'édition.
Je sais que SpringerNature, Elsevier etc. font des marges mirobolantes, du même genre que celles que Microsoft faisait sur Office.

Switzerland has been without an agreement since 1.1.2026. Consequently, the SNSF is pausing funding for #OpenAccess articles in these journals.
This joint measure with the 🇨🇭 higher education institutions strengthens our negotiating position.
