It’s time for us academics to stop being pawns of these corporate journals and demand our fair share of the profits they earn from our labour and services.

  • We are not their “content creators”
  • Access and dissemination of our research cannot be held hostage by these corpos.
  • Service to these journals is not service to the community.

I’ve posted this in my institute. I hope you share and post this in yours and spread the word.

P.S: As you can see, I am no designer! But I hope the message is clear. Thanks for the feedback. I will work on further drafts, and hope to work with the community to mobilise this action.

… and yes, it was made using LaTeX. :-)
