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.

Retraction Watch: Major citation index put surgery journals on hold following Retraction Watch investigation. “The move came just a week after our investigation, published March 12, which found mandatory citation of reporting guidelines in the International Journal of Surgery (IJS) had inflated the impact factor of the open-access title, making it more attractive to authors and readers.

Daily Nous: Kant Studies Online: No Longer Online. “What happens to the articles published in an online-only journal when that journal not only ceases to publish, but ceases to exist?

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."

"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."

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: https://retractionwatch.com/2023/08/11/author-of-paper-on-covid-19-and-jade-amulets-sues-employer-for-mental-anguish-discrimination/. 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. https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2025-11-28/the-fall-of-a-prolific-science-journal-exposes-the-billion-dollar-profits-of-scientific-publishing.html

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.
