Good for you 😘

Fuck! Thanks. Anyway my…ummm…friend can have his meta footprint deleted?

It costs time and money. The handful of times I published articles in an open access journal, I had to pay close to $5K USD per publication.

Theoretically, researchers can publish on Mastodon or something similar but that unfortunately won’t give us the reach we need. That might be fine with well established names, but for dumb-dumbs like myself who are still trying to make a name for ourselves in our field, we want the highest impact publisher we can find. Those typically come with a price tag.

Sometimes the grant also dictates acceptable publishers where you can submit your manuscript.

Sadly, it’s not as easy as it sounds.

Thanks, I hate it

This sort of exaggeration is typically used for comedic effect. Sorry for trying to throw a smile on a random person’s face. You must be very fun to hang around at parties.

I am running a portable LibreWolf on my work issued, locked-down-with-a-chastity-belt-and-thrown-the-keys-into-the-fires-of-Mount-Doom-in-Mordor laptop with uBlock extension installed.

Try that and see if it works.
