@Enfanthese @p4bl0 J'avais écrit un billet de blog sur le sujet, il y a quelques années. Il y a quelques références citées :

Il faut que je refasse la biblio car cette lèpre est en train de tout submerger... Je suis preneur de vos références sur le sujet.

Update. Here's an unrefereed letter to the editor leaving the false impression that the UK #REF requires researchers to publish in #APC-based #OpenAccess journals. (It doesn't require publishing in OA journals; authors may choose #GreenOA instead; and when they do choose to publish in OA journals, they are free to choose no-APC or #DiamondOA journals.)

The _Journal of Optical Microsystems_ has been an #APC-based #OpenAccess journal. It knows that its APCs have excluded authors unable to find funding and it wants to solve that problem. But its solution is to switch to #hybrid — removing the APC for some articles but removing OA for the same articles.
spiedigitallibrary.org/journal

The editorial announcing the change describes #DiamondOA, among other approaches. So we know that the journal knows about the model, and knows that it could remove APCs and keep OA at the same time. But the journal did not choose diamond OA and the editorial doesn't explain why.

Publisher’s cost cutting, including the botched use of AI, pushes editors of top journal to resign

Walled Culture has noted previously the fabulous levels of profit that many academic publishers have achieved, largely through the abuse of copyright, as explained in Walled Culture the book (free digital versions). And yet those levels are apparently not enough for perhaps the most successful of the academic publishers, Elsevier. A story on the site Retraction Watch reports on the mass […]

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

I just got two pieces of #spam in one week from _Medical Sciences_, an #MDPI journal. The first invited me to submit an article and offered me a discount on its #APC. The second nagged me for not responding to the first.

I'm not a medical researcher. My fields are philosophy, law, and open access. This is easy to discover in a simple web search.

If this medical journal knows my fields, then why is it soliciting an article from me? If it doesn't know my fields, then why is it soliciting an article from me?

Does it realize that its emails prove that it's spamming researchers at random without knowing the first thing about them?

I'm sure you get this kind of spam too. When you find time, I urge you to post about it and name names.

I don't do this often enough. Here are two earlier examples.

"The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) has served as a pivotal platform for fostering cooperation among governments, civil society, the private sector and technical communities to collectively address the opportunities and challenges brought about by the digital age. The UN Global Digital Compact (GDC) has expanded the scope of the global digital governance agenda beyond the internet-related public policy issues outlined in the WSIS consensus. It has put the spotlight on global inequality, also calling attention to the concentration of market power, the challenges posed by emerging technologies, in particular artificial intelligence (AI), and the need for renewed and more effective cooperation.

The process of deliberation in the UN system through the recently adopted Global Digital Compact in September 2024 and the upcoming 20-year review of the WSIS Agenda (WSIS+20) in 2025 are more than routine milestones in the multilateral process and the global digital cooperation ecosystem. They signify major opportunities to examine the adequacy of our actions and regroup to meet the trajectories of digital injustice headlong. They also are a flashpoint within which to situate, develop and push forward a renewed vision of digitality.

In that context, APC will engage with the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 2024 with the intention to both contribute to those conversations and to create spaces for exchange of perspectives and identification of priorities for the WSIS+20 review, including the renewal and expansion of the mandate of the IGF itself."
