As authors, reviewers and editors, we can actively shape the publishing ecosystem, where different journal models entail different choices. Ideally, ethics—despite occasional compromises—should become and remain the primary driver of our decisions. Check: peeer.net/2026/02/20/d... #BetterPublishing

Different publishing models, different choices: reflections from editing under these scenarios

The publishing system is an intriguing arena where different approaches and philosophies intersect. Researchers who publish scientific papers naturally have aims and expectations that differ greatl…

PEEER stands behind the Stockholm Declaration, a call to rethink academic publishing in response to a global crisis marked by paywalls, predatory journals and paper mills—threats that undermine what was once a reliable foundation for social progress.

Scientific societies should rethink allowing for‑profit publishers at meetings. They may support the meeting in part, but these same publishers charge unsustainable fees year‑round and undercut academic independence. The trade‑off? Researchers lose. peeer.net/2025/08/04/t...

Two problems with scientific conferences

Akin to the problems in scientific publishing driven by the ever-increasing influence of for-profit publishers since the 1950s and particularly emphasized in the past two decades, problems are also…

Do we outsource research conferences at our peril? For‑profit event firms reduce our effort, but fees are high and returns to academia low. Would not-for-profit society-organized meetings held at universities benefit the academic community more? peeer.net/2025/08/04/t...

Another addition to the growing list of mass editorial resignations: editors of a math journal resign and launch a diamond open-access journal ‘free from pressure or influence’. Check out our latest post at peeer.net/2025/07/31/r.... #BetterPublishing

Rising editorial resignations underscore disputes over academic independence

Mass resignations of managing editors and entire editorial boards from scholarly journals aren’t new, but the frequency has picked up in recent years. Since 2023, editors of over 25 journals have r…
