I’m not going to pretend I’m a legal scholar, but I did call this one from the beginning.
Over a year ago, a lawsuit was filed against several academic publishers, alleging they conspired to exploit scientists.
The case didn’t even make it to a verdict. It was dismissed back a few weeks ago, according to Stat News reporter Jonathan Wosen.
I’m a little surprised that I am only stumbling across this now. I do realize that academics have a lot of more dire events happening every day, but given the complaints about publishing practices, I would have thought to see a little more commentary on academic social media.
