Interesting wrinkle to my never quite finished stance on where to review and publish today.
I got a review request from the Journal of Human Geography. I look them up, they are published by SAGE, so I send my usual "I do not review for Big Publishing" response https://marioangst.com/en/blog/posts/dear-editors/
Then they actually get back with a note that they are a radical outfit (their page says they engage in "institutional socialism"), which does not make a profit and re-distributes all the money they get back from SAGE. I mean, that is quite cool and shows that it's not always so clear-cut.
I reconsidered, but in the end still decided not to review for them.
In effect, they are cool outfit who purchases publishing services from one of the big publishers. I do not have a problem in principle with companies providing scientific publishing services, as long as they don't extract excessive value from our work. SAGE might not do that for Human Geography, but definitely does as a whole.
So, after these considerations, I still do not think this aligns with my principles on where I contribute my reviewing labour. Especially as there are many other initiatives who actually have taken back the means of communications themselves. With Open Journal Systems software and recent initiatives like Open Research Europe, I just think we are at a different point in time now, where there are just not that many excuses to go with Big Publishing left.

Two Forming Worlds researchers are at Origins 2026 in Paris this week, the ISSOL astrobiology conference at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle.
Emeline Decocq (Kapteyn PhD) is asking what the surface of the Hadean Earth was like 4.4 billion years ago. Using grids of our open PROTEUS model, she finds that a more oxidised interior outgasses more greenhouse gas, often leaving the young Earth too hot for a stable ocean. That sits awkwardly with Earth's oldest zircon crystals, whose oxygen isotopes are usually read as evidence that liquid water was already around. So which gives: have we been reading the zircon record wrong, or are the models missing something fundamental about the early Earth?
Anna Grace Ulses, a PhD student in Josh Krissansen-Totton's group at the University of Washington and visiting the lab for two months, asks when oxygen is a false alarm for life. On worlds with little background gas like N2, the atmospheric cold trap weakens, water vapour climbs high, sunlight splits it apart, hydrogen escapes, and O2 piles up with no biology at all. Worth keeping in mind for the Habitable Worlds Observatory.
The earliest Earth, and the risk of mistaking a lifeless world for a living one. 🌍

Critical reading is a research skill.
A seven-step approach can help identify knowledge gaps, evaluate experimental design, spot limitations and separate evidence from interpretation when reading scientific papers.
