@EposVox As the author or co-author of various scientific papers: don’t I know it. AND, you have to pay them a publishing fee if they accept your paper AND the scientists who review the papers (which I have also done) are also unpaid. Huge racket.

@cgquarterly @EposVox but i don't really understand... If nobody Pays them... How do they get money for their living expenses?

@SleepyHeadBensh @cgquarterly @EposVox Libraries pay them.
And #BoycottElsevier is bundling journals. So your library wants to access journal A because of a certain interest of their readers? You'll also have to get journal B-F no one will ever read.

Thats the main way scientific journals make the money.
