I must admit what I wrote was simplified.

If you take into account that a lot of research grants are financed by tax money though…

Thanks, I will be looking into this!

Sorry, I might have misunderstood - I thought there would be some journals employing that “review to submit” system you mentioned.

It’s happening in Germany as well. Universities are banding together to negotiate better deals with publishers - some subscriptions haven’t been renewed when the publishers weren’t forthcoming. It’s not a solution (that would be the wide establishment of independent, self organized/hosted Open Access journals - using Open Journal Systems for example) but it’s a start.

Oh, could you share some links?

Don’t forget the university libraries. Yup, researchers are paid by the university, those researchers pay the publishers to place their articles, the peer reviewers are also paid by the university. And then the university has to shell out money to the publishers, so the articles can be accessed.

Came here to post this. It’s so evil, it even has ebooks meant for entertainment.

Never visit downmagaz either!

Loved both Olli Olli games on the Vita. Fun times.

Is it really dead? I used a mirror just yesterday…

I’ve had that app for ages. And I only use F-Droid…

I meant you’d have too many torrents (each consisting of 1 small file)…

Too many small files, papers need different indexing.

Shadow libraries (like scihub, Anna’s archive etc.) are the way to go - as long as scientists don’t or can’t publish Open Access which is what needs to happen.

I use Book Reader (it’s on F-Droid) for my phone, which works well enough… don’t know how it performs on a tablet or if it has the features you’re looking for.

I would wholeheartedly recommend a dedicated e-reader with E-Ink display for more ‘serious’ reading (I have a Tolino for the evenings/bed. Depending on where you are located you could also look into PocketBooks or Kobos… just make sure they’re not chaining you to a closed ecosystem like Kindles).

Thanks!

Yes, this is awesome.

Anyone know the source? Are there different editions/prints to worry about if one were to go looking for the book(s) themselves?

Nice. Are there larger version for each movie available somewhere?

That Tauntaun looks really cool.

Oh, sorry to hear that. DS9 gets pretty good later on - especially the “middle” is great, testing out the limits of the world/starfleet ethics. I think it’s my favorite trek… (second being TNG, watched that growing up). Maybe give DS9 another chance and just jump in somewhere after Season 1…

Courses on picking up women? Avoid!

Look, someone who’s good at their job!
