Really sick of all #journals and #conferences that insert a gray "for review only" (or similar sentence) as a watermark in the background of each papers to be reviewed. This is super annoying as it makes any selection of text in the pdf impossible (for most places). I'm usually often selecting text, for instance to cite authors own words in my review letter, or point them a typo, or a conceptual issue. What does this watermark really prevent? If someone with bad intention really wants to use the reviewed work, they'll find a way and this pseudo watermark won't prevent anything. If a mention "for review only" is needed, why not placing it only on the top or the bottom of the document so that it doesn't corrupt any text selection?
Does anyone know whether there is a project to stock libraries in developing countries with unwanted academic journals from our offices? A colleague is downsizing and has over a decade of JACS that might end up in a recycling bin if there is no alternative. Can you spread the word as I'm curious about what we might be able to do. #academic#sharing#journals@dbellingradt do you and your histodons and bookdons know about this kind of thing?
Did anyone receive this kind of review invitation? Perhaps you @j_bertolotti ?
Apparently, they started paying 20 $ for reviewing! It seems that finally, someone paid attention to all the complaints and the quality of the existing peer review process. The fee may seem too low, but here in Turkey 🇹🇷 it equals 650 Turkish lira, which is about one week's groceries. @academicsunite#academia#research#publishing#journals#peerreview
Hey archaeologists -- have you made any discoveries with relevance for Poland or Central Europe in general? Then you can write about them in English or Polish in Folia Archaeologica, our peer-reviewed journal at the University of Łódź.
