Guest Post: Academic Publishing Is Not Fit for the Future – If We Don’t Act Now, The Vital Role Research Plays in Society Is at Risk - The Scholarly Kitchen
Academic publishing ia reaching a breaking point. Unless we redesign it, we risk stalling the very progress we seek – with consequences impacting research, education and public trust in academia.

Imagine you could do something to greatly reduce your child’s lifetime risk of cancer, would you? Even it requires a vax? Reduce needless risk of cancer?
