El sistema de publicaciones científicas está cada vez más contra las cuerdas. Springer Nature, una de las editoriales más prestigiosas del mundo, ha publicado un libro sobre machine learning… ¡lleno de citas inventadas! Es para reírse de quienes aseguran que la IA ya puede reemplazar a humanos,. Lo más increíble: el libro sigue a la venta en el sitio web de Springer Nature.

Springer Nature makes clear that federally-funded authors who want to publish in SN journals will have to pay #APCs.
springernature.com/gp/open-sci

If you're a fed-funded author, then submitting your manuscript to one of SN's non-OA or subscription-based journals, to avoid the APC, is not an option for you. Those SN journals will desk-reject your submissions without regard to relevance or merit.

When you face a publisher demand for an APC, remember what the fee really buys. It buys entry to publish in that particular journal (assuming manuscript acceptance). It does not buy compliance with your funder policy. Compliance with your funder policy is free of charge and you can always take your submission to another journal or another publisher.

Update. "Since 2017, the #UK has mandated organisations employing more than 250 people to publicly report their annual #gender #PayGap…Every science publisher pays men more than women. In 2024, the lowest median pay gap favouring men was 9.5% (#SpringerNature), followed by #Sage (13.3%), #Wiley (17.7%), and #Informa (formerly Taylor & Francis) (22.7%). #Elsevier remains an outlier in the magnitude of its gender pay gap and in the lack of progress. Eight years ago Elsevier stood out among publishers, with a median pay gap in 2017 of 40.4% in favour of men over women in its UK business…Elsevier’s median pay gap for 2024 is 32.8%, maintaining its position as worst performer among peers over all eight years of mandatory reporting."
