That’s okay. If you view the journals as glorified blogs, I agree that they’re unnecessary. They aren’t and do more than that even though they’re also doing a lot of bad stuff with sky high profit margins. If you’re not open for changing your views, I don’t see the point of discussing any more. Appreciate the back and forth, tho!
If I understand you correctly: Yes, the article can have a typesetting like whatever you get out-of-the-box from Latex and that article can then be published anywhere. What is typically not allowed is to openly publish the article that have been typeset by the journal where you’ve sent in your article. This is probably what you mean by “preamble/theme”
No, that’s not what I said. You’re right that journals, to some extent, also lends credibility to the publication, but it’s not the source of credibility. What I said was that an article published in Nature will have many more views than an article published on a random WordPress blog.
Again, saying that researchers “agree to have it that way” ignores the structural difficulty of changing the system by the individual. The ones who benefit the most from changing the system are also the ones most dependent on external funding - that is, young researchers. Publishing in low-impact journals (ones that has a small outreach such as most open-access journals) makes it much harder to apply for funding
The typeset article is what you’d see if you download the .pdf from, e.g., Nature.
.It’s the manuscript with all the stuff that distinguishes an article from one journal to another (where is the abstract, what font type, is there a divider between some sections, etc.). Articles that have not been typeset yet can be seen from Arxiv, for example this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.04391
There are several benefits, but compared to WordPress, I guess the biggest one is outreach: no one will actually see an article if it’s published by a young researcher that hasn’t made a name for themselves yet. It will also not be catalogued and will therefore be more difficult to find when searching for articles.
Also, calling researchers “whipped” is a bit dismissive to the huge inertia there is in the realm of scientific publication. The scientific journal of Nature was founded in 1869, but general open-access publishing has only really taken off in the last decade or so.
You will transfer the economic copyright to most journals upon publication of the typeset manuscript meaning that you’re not allowed to publish that particular PDF anywhere. However, a lot of journals are okay with you publishing the pre-peer reviewed article or even sometimes the peer-reviewed, but NOT typeset article (sometimes called post-print article). Scientific publishing is weird :-)
Thanks, and yes, you’re correct
The actual scientific article is open-access: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07856-5
Thank you, those are some good points!
Could you explain a bit more about why it’s insane to have it as a docked volume instead of a mount point on the host? I’m not too well-versed with docker (or maybe hosting in general)
Edit: typo
Interesting that they have such a greedy/stupid bot
Could it be this fella who’s hitting you up: https://claude.ai/login
Is it possible for you to somehow quantify traffic originating from AdNauseum? If so, how?
Could you link some of those studies? I’d be interested to read more about that
I know that in Lithuania, they drink lightly salted water: https://www.kaina24.lt/s/vytautas-mineralinis-vanduo/
So while I don’t doubt your taste buds, I think it’s a cultural thing whether a bit of salt in water tastes bad 😄
It is up to the shops whether they want to accept euro or not (or any other currency), but the official currency is kroner. I know that some supermarkets (Netto) used to gladly take euro in exchange for a horrible exchange rate
When talking about measurements, “precision” and “accuracy” have slightly different meanings See here
