These annoying and painful little sores tend to resolve on their own. But if they don't – or you have any of these other symptoms – it could be time to seek help. @doctoramitarora @arosha333 @UQ_News @westernsydneyu theconversation.com/why-do-i…

This is a bit of an eye opener .. @AcademicChatter @PhDLifePro
Major academic publishers are getting sued for unlawfully appropriating billions of dollars.
Prof. Lucina Qazi Uddin, a neuroscientist at UCLA, has sued these six academic publishers Elsevier, Wolters Kluwer, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Sage, and Springer Nature.
The lawsuit claims that these publishers violate antitrust laws on the following three grouds:
1. The publishers have colluded to fix the price of peer review at zero.
2. These publishers agree to not compete with each by making it obligatory for researchers to submit their work to only one journal at a time.
3. These publishers prohibit scholars from sharing scientific advancements while they are under peer review, which can take up to a year.
Here's a comparison of the publishers' revenue and what they pay authors and reviewers
Elsevier: $3.9 billion
Springer Nature: $2 billion
Wolters Kluwer: $1.6 billion
Wiley: $1.8 billion
Taylor & Francis: $800 million
Sage: $500 million
They pay:
Authors: $0
Peer reviewers: $0

The phrase ‘metastasis accounts for 90% of cancer deaths’ is one of the most widely used in cancer research, yet it is overly simplistic, imprecise, and it is difficult to find any primary analysis supporting the statement. | → rdcu.be/dLgsZ ← | 🧵(1/5)
