  7. What are the true costs of academic publishing?

    Well, while academic publisher DeGruyter charges £158 for the book “The Leopard in the Garden” my local bookshop and other bookshops charge £39 for exactly the same book (and £12 for the ebook, which DeGruyter costs at a cool £158 too). The same appears true for other books (e.g., Nothing Less Than Equality £181 at DeGruyter vs. £24 at bookshops). Maybe this is a licensing thing, but it just seems odd?

    The large academic publishing companies argue that their hefty fees e.g., £10.000 to get a paper in Nature published as open access, are warranted by the infrastructure and editor service they provide. When one knows very little about publishing, those claims are hard to evaluate because there are few non-profit equivalents that are fully comparable. But here the comparison is for profit bookshop vs for profit publishers and the books are exactly the same.

    New #OpenAccess #Journal to Launch Following Resignation of Editorial Team from #NaturalLanguageSemantics

    Posted by Professor Caroline Edwards on 2 June 2026

    "The #OpenLibraryOfHumanities is pleased to announce the launch of a new diamond open access journal in linguistics, following the resignation of the editorial team of Natural Language Semantics (#NLS) from #SpringerNature. The editors are launching a new journal, Semantics of Natural Languages , with the Open Library of Humanities.

    "The editorial team’s resignation follows ongoing concerns about Springer Nature putting pressure on editors to accept and publish more articles. Commercial publishers like Springer Nature are increasingly using this tactic to grow the revenue they receive for open access publishing via Article Processing Charges. The resigning editors have the support of the editorial board of Natural Language Semantics, including the original founders of that journal, which was established in 1993 and has long been recognised as one of the leading journals in formal semantics and theoretical linguistics.

    "Semantics of Natural Languages is launched at OLH as the intellectual heir to Natural Language Semantics, which was originally published by Kluwer Academic Publishers before its acquisition by Springer in 2003. Semantics of Natural Languages is a linguistics journal dedicated to the study of meaning in natural languages, with a particular focus on the relation between meaning and linguistic structure. While the journal is firmly grounded in semantics, it welcomes contributions that draw on insights from related fields such as #logic, #PhilosophyOfLanguage, #psycholinguistics and cognition, #typology and the core domains of #linguistics — provided the work is specifically directed toward linguists and advances our understanding of semantics.

    "OLH’s Executive Director, Professor Caroline Edwards, said of the move: 'It’s fantastic to be supporting another research community to regain editorial control of its journal and leave Springer Nature. At OLH, we’re seeing a growing number of furious academics ready to withdraw their labour from unscrupulous commercial publishers like Springer Nature. We’re excited to work with the editors and authors at Semantics of Natural Languages and give the journal a positive future.'

    "The editors of Semantics of Natural Languages commented: 'We’re grateful to be able to work with the OLH to make our journal accessible for free to all $authors and $readers. #AcademicJournals should serve academics, #NotForProfitPublishers, and we consider the #DiamondOpenAccess model the future of academic publishing. We are proud to join this movement and help to expand its presence in semantics and linguistics more generally.'

    "The Open Library of Humanities is proud to provide the long-term funding and support needed to bring this journal into diamond open access. This support is made possible by the university libraries, funding councils, and library consortia that collectively support the OLH.

    "About #OLH: The Open Library of Humanities is an award-winning, academic-led publisher of 36 diamond open access journals based at #Birkbeck, #UniversityOfLondon. With initial funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and subsequent support from Arcadia, a charitable fund, the platform covers its costs by payments from an international library consortium rather than any author fee. This funding mechanism enables equitable open access in the #humanities disciplines, with charges neither to readers nor authors."

    Call for Proposals: Cultivating Personal Meaning: Reframing Success and Thriving in Academic Librarianship Edited collection

    Editors: Russell Michalak & Trevor A. Dawes

    About the Volume

    In academic libraries, we frequently define student success and institutional success, but far less often examine what professional success means for academic librarians and library workers themselves. Traditional markers of achievement, such as titles, promotions, prestige, and compensation, remain important and meaningful, yet they do not fully capture the diverse ways professional impact, contribution, and thriving are enacted across roles, institutions, and career stages.

    This edited collection explores how success is defined, pursued, and sustained in academic libraries under real-world conditions shaped by structural constraints, material realities, and evolving professional expectations. Rather than framing success as a singular endpoint or linear trajectory, the volume approaches success as an active practice, contextual, relational, and shaped by institutional structures as well as individual agency.

    The volume is organized around three interrelated themes:

    I. Reconsidering Success in Academic Librarianship

    This section interrogates dominant definitions of professional success and rearticulates success as contribution, influence, expertise, and institutional impact. Chapters may examine tensions between purpose-driven work and status-based achievement; critique systems of evaluation, advancement, and recognition; or propose alternative frameworks for understanding leadership, impact, and professional legitimacy.

    II. Professional Lives Across Roles and Career Paths

    This section addresses success across the full career arc, including early-career precarity, mid-career plateaus and immobility, late-career and post-pinnacle roles, and transitions out of academic librarianship. Leadership is understood as practice rather than position, enacted through collaboration, care, mentoring, technical expertise, advocacy, assessment, and implementation. Narratives of leaving the profession are welcomed and treated as legitimate rearticulations of success rather than failure.

    Chapters may also examine specialist or technical roles whose contributions are essential yet undervalued, as well as professional associations and communities of practice as sites of learning, leadership, and recognition beyond one’s home institution.

    III. Sustainability, Well-Being, and Collective Contexts

    This section explores how thriving is cultivated, not only individually but collectively within institutional environments. Contributors are encouraged to examine sustainability, workload realities, burnout, immobility, equity structures, and shared leadership models. Drawing on scholarship such as Jon E. Cawthorne’s work on distributed leadership, this section highlights the “middle” as a critical site of implementation, accountability, and change.

    We particularly encourage proposals that integrate equity, diversity, inclusion, and accessibility (EDIA) throughout their analysis and examine how systems of recognition and advancement shape professional well-being and long-term sustainability.

    Types of Contributions

    This collection places no restrictions on genre, methodology, or epistemological approach. We welcome chapters that are reflective, analytical, empirical, experimental, or creative in scope, provided they are grounded in professional practice and clearly connected to questions of contribution, success, and institutional impact within one or more of the three thematic sections above.

    Submissions may include, but are not limited to:

    • Personal narratives or reflective essays
    • Autoethnographies
    • Qualitative research studies
    • Quantitative research studies
    • Mixed-methods research
    • Case studies
    • Program or project assessments
    • Theoretical or conceptual analyses
    • Creative or experimental formats
    • Hybrid approaches that blend multiple forms

    Contributors

    We use the term contributors to emphasize that institutional impact is not limited by title, rank, degree status, or methodology. We welcome submissions from librarians, paraprofessionals, technologists, administrators, students, and collaborative partners across roles, career stages, and institutional contexts.

    We recognize that professional success is not experienced uniformly. For non-degreed and paraprofessional library workers—those in roles that do not require an advanced degree—success is often shaped by material constraints, including limited advancement pathways, wage compression, and educational debt. These challenges may be compounded by toxic workplace dynamics such as chronic understaffing, inequitable workloads, exclusion from decision-making, and cultures of silence.

    Contributors are encouraged to move beyond description to demonstrate how their work supports organizational health, equity, sustainability, and meaningful institutional change, offering adaptable insights for diverse professional settings.

    Each chapter should offer readers adaptable insights, practices, frameworks, or approaches that can be implemented within their own institutional contexts–the chapter should be solution-based.

    Chapter Length and Format

    Proposed chapters are expected to range from approximately 1,000 to 4,000 words, though longer empirical or programmatic chapters are encouraged. 

    Submission Guidelines

    Proposals should include:

    • A working title
    • A 250–400 word abstract describing the chapter’s focus, contribution, and relevance to one of the volume’s three sections
    • A brief, detailed outline. See an example here https://wisc.pb.unizin.org/esl117/chapter/writing-a-detailed-outline/
    • An indication of chapter type or methodology
    • A short author bio (approximately 150 words)

    Empirical proposals should note the status of data collection and IRB approval, if applicable.

    Purpose and Contribution

    This volume seeks to shift the conversation from diagnosing challenges to examining how success and thriving are cultivated in practice. By expanding what counts as professional success and making diverse forms of contribution visible and legible, Cultivating Personal Meaning offers a grounded, solutions-oriented exploration of what it means to do meaningful, sustainable, and valued work in academic libraries today.

    Each section will conclude with editorial reflections that synthesize key insights and highlight practical, adaptable takeaways for readers.

  19. "Imagine being an expert in your field, and working for months – maybe years – on a cutting-edge research project. And then imagine sending that research to a publisher who pays you nothing for your work. Instead, they charge you an enormous fee for the privilege of having it appear in their journal ... Unfortunately, that’s the entire business model of academic publishing."

  20. A 2020 paper on using jade amulets to cure COVID has had quite some fallout.

    Three years on, the first author sued his institution, Pittsburgh, because he said their response was discriminatory: retractionwatch.com/2023/08/11. He left the same year and has since founded his own institute for "paradigm shifts".

    Five years on, this case and other problems led Clarivate to delist the journal, Elsevier's Science of the Total Environment, from the Web of Science. english.elpais.com/science-tec

  22. Are there examples of successful academic boycotts?

    I can think of several unsuccessful examples, like the PLoS petition and the Cost of Knowledge boycott.

    Getting academics to make and stick to collective agreements is like herding cats.

I don't have access to the full article, and it's in French, but several journals have received a "questioning" mail from the Columbia district state attorney, and two journals have suspended submissions (Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) and the Journal of Health and Pollution (JHP)) citing federal funding cuts.
