Did you know former Crossref members can rejoin and resume management of their original DOI records?
Memberships sometimes close; either organisations change, contacts move on, or fees go unpaid. But in most cases, rejoining is possible, and your original DOI prefix can be restored. Read more in our latest ticket of the month.

I've started getting Google Scholar alerts which announce work by legit academics but the titles click through to porn sites.
Does anyone know why that would be?
Some kind of SEO scam? Some kind of phishing? Something more targetted against the affected academics?

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.

Back in 2023, PREreview partnered with the journal Current Research in Neurobiology to explore integrating our Live Reviews model into their workflow, to inform editorial decision-making.
This experience, led by Dr. Chris Petkov, showed that community Live Reviews can match the quality and time-efficiency of traditional #PeerReview while opening opportunities for dialogue and learning often missing from the process.
📑 The results of the pilot, run with five manuscripts submitted to CRNEUR in that year, are now published in Research Integrity and Peer Review. Read the open access paper here: https://doi.org/10.1186/s41073-026-00210-5

I think a lot about this question:
What would happen if, over the next 10 years, we exclusively published in, reviewed for, and served (e.g., as editors, editorial board members, and editorial staff) at Diamond Open Access journals?
Hope to get some responses!

Why are SpringerNature systematically contacting the friends and relatives of deceased academics?
I had the unpleasant experience recently of getting peer reviews directed to me for my (three years deceased) friend and mentor for whom I’m a literary executor. When I complained to the journal I discovered it’s a new automated database which Springer are using which I can opt of. When I went to opt out I discovered this is a frequent enough experience that it’s actually listed as one of the options in the drop down:
This is a bit grim, no? It would be such an easy exercise to clean the data by looking at prima facie inconsistencies between reviewer name and the contact details. Indeed it’s a textbook example of something Claude Code or Codex could do without any technical skill being required. It wouldn’t catch it all but it would be such an easy triage to perform in order to mark some records as needed verificaton. Yet they choose not to do it and instead rely on manual opt outs which does rather capture my worst feelings about commercial publishers. This is the system itself:
Springer Nature’s mission is to make publishing research a simple and rewarding experience. That’s why we introduced Snapp, the Springer Nature Article Processing Platform, to enable research to be published as efficiently as possible.
We created Snapp to be intuitive and simple to use, and it’s designed to better meet the needs of the research community – our authors, editors, and reviewers.
Snapp is built in-house by Springer Nature, so it continuously evolves to respond to researcher needs. We’re also using user feedback to guide its development and release regular updates and new features – visit the What’s new pages to find out more.
