it's pretty much all academics, I, unfortunately, have to say I was pretty ignorant and I don't know how they've managed to make me believe that the prestige was enough. Maybe that's why my teachers were always saying they wanted me to write papers and submit them to prestigious journals like the ASCE as a civil engineer it is one of the most prestigious. You spend many years of research and accumulate plenty of student debt (wich I'm still paying 3 years after I've quit school) all that to maybe be published for prestige.

If the math of OA fees = wages of the editorial team, website maintenance etc. would check out, I would not have an issue with that at all. Or if these wages were covered by grants. The issue is it is a business, and one with huuuge margins at that (I reckon even EICs of big journals don't get as much money, it all gets funneled into the companies...)

Yet, she has over dozens of publications from using overzealous residents and fellows like myself. Due to this experience, I refused to do any research after that project. The attendings of big academic institutions often use research to get paid more but, more importantly, at these higher institutions, at least at Columbia, raises are purely based on how good you are at brown nosing. Also being Caucasian also helps. The combination of being white and being the ultimate brown noser will instantly earn you a department head title. Pretty sure this is true elsewhere.

Had my first paper published and couldn’t even afford to buy the print copy of it. 😂 It is open access though.

I've heard it said publish or lose you job. Many academics have a requirement to publish. It's scary to think that is your reward.

The American healthcare system is like Homelander: constantly tells you that you are the hero, gives you meaningless pats on the back, then turns around and laser beams you with long hours, low pay, poor working conditions, and systemic burnout

If journals paid for your academia papers, there is the potential for conflict of interest = one of the main reasons you don't get paid is to reduce publication bias and skewed data sets

Freelance editor/writer here. This is horrifying. I've only worked very briefly editing academic papers. The company I worked with paid me waaaaaaaaaaay too poorly to account for the amount of time and effort it would require to edit each paper... or for the advanced degrees of my colleagues, many-but not all-of whom worked more quickly than I did. It makes sense. Why would an academic author pay well for a quality copyeditor when they will also have to pay for publishing, with no financial return? So then the effect is passed on to editors... What a soul-crushing process. (Though I admit many papers being edited are from students who aren't fully comfortable with the English language...or with the topic they're covering, for that matter.) Academics' writing is valuable. Research is hard. Writing itself is really hard work. Pay writers, and pay them well. In every field. We need to eat, and even many of us who aren't academics have student loans to pay. Please.
