Wissenschaftliche Artikel hinter Paywalls und wir haben keinen Zugriff? Ein ziemlicher Skandal, denn schließlich haben wir für diese Forschung ja mit unseren Steuergeldern bezahlt! Bei MAITHINK X decken wir heute auf, wie milliardenschwere Verlage die Wissenschaft im Würgegriff haben! Schaut rein! 🧐

If one person gives a euro to Ukraine, the result is €1.

If two people give 2 each, it is €4.

If 3,000 give 3,000 each, it is 9 million.

New AEA-EEA-ES-RES joint report on publication process in economics is extremely useful + thoughtful, a short 🧵. (Link at end, if you haven't seen the report). #econtwitter #econsky Starts with principle: journals may play 3 roles: dissemination, editing and certification.
