_Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) has been the official journal of the Deutsche Vereinigung für Mathematische Logik und für Grundlagenforschung der exakten Wissenschaften (DVMLG). The DVMLG was initially happy with Wiley for respecting its editorial independence. But in an April open letter it charges "that the attitudes and procedures of Wiley have changed considerably in the last few years and that commercial and profit-oriented interests are now influencing the editorial process negatively." DVMLG will not renew with Wiley when the current contract expires at the end of 2025.

And BTW, the DVMLG wants its journal to be #DiamondOA.

Update. "Since 2017, the #UK has mandated organisations employing more than 250 people to publicly report their annual #gender #PayGap…Every science publisher pays men more than women. In 2024, the lowest median pay gap favouring men was 9.5% (#SpringerNature), followed by #Sage (13.3%), #Wiley (17.7%), and #Informa (formerly Taylor & Francis) (22.7%). #Elsevier remains an outlier in the magnitude of its gender pay gap and in the lack of progress. Eight years ago Elsevier stood out among publishers, with a median pay gap in 2017 of 40.4% in favour of men over women in its UK business…Elsevier’s median pay gap for 2024 is 32.8%, maintaining its position as worst performer among peers over all eight years of mandatory reporting."

Another community of academics fed-up with the publisher Wiley:

“We do not believe that Wiley is currently providing an environment that allows the editors to do their editorial work according to the standards of the academic community and free from the negative influence of commercial and profit-oriented interests,”

Today the editorial board of _Mathematical Logic Quarterly_ (pub'd by #Wiley) resigned and launched a new #DiamondOA journal on the same topics.

Good to see: "This month, _Advanced Genetics_ is joining other #Wiley journals in implementing a “Mandates Data Sharing” policy…We and the other participating journals require that authors openly share data underlying their publications and upgrade our editorial workflows to better support data sharing and optional data peer-review. This initiative covers 88 Wiley Journals…across various fields."

“You reap what you sow. On average, publications from #MDPI may be less complex, but there is also a lot of nonsense from the other publishers (#Elsevier, #Wiley, #Springer, etc.) MDPI is unbeatably fast. When you consider that feedback from other publishers sometimes takes over 12 months (not because there are so many iterations, but because there is no feedback) and we are constantly forced to publish quickly […], MDPI simply takes advantage of the system we have created.”

The plaintiff is Lucina Uddin (@lucinauddin), a professor of psychology at #UCLA.

The six publisher defendants are #Elsevier, #Sage, #SpringerNature, #TaylorAndFrancis, #Wiley, and #WoltersKluwer. Another defendant is the #STM_Association, a publisher trade organization.

There are also 50 individual defendants ("John Does 1 through 50”) whose names will be revealed later.

Of possible interest to folk here... The PM programme on #BBC Radio Four has been focussing on the crisis in #academic #research this week. Wednesday's episode focussed on the issue of paper mills (notably #Hindawi & #Wiley) and their impact on the number of retractions which, 10 years ago was small, but today exceeds 13K per annum.

Episode below -- though may only be available within UK. Fast forward to circa 40:00 to hear the discussion: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001xdgd #scholcomm #RetractionWatch

Heute war das Webinar der @dfg_public zum #ScienceTracking und so gut es war, dass die AG des #AWBI sich dieser Arbeit unterzogen hat, so seltsam war es doch, dem jetzt am Bildschirm zu folgen.

Zwei von drei #DEAL-Verträgen sind also "a bit fishy", wie der Engländer sagt. Weder #Wiley noch #Elsevier arbeiten rechtskonform und sie haben auch keinerlei Absicht, das zu tun. Unterschrieben hat man in vollem Bewusstsein der Tatsachen trotzdem, so wie 2019 auch. (1/x)

New study: "The current level of implementation of transformative agreements is insufficient to bring about a large-scale transition to fully #OpenAccess. A key finding…is that TAs maintain market concentration…The three largest commercial publishers #Elsevier, #SpringerNature & #Wiley dominate, particularly with regard to OA provided through TAs. Together, the 3 publishers accounted for 3/4 of OA articles through TAs."

arXiv.orgHow open are hybrid journals included in transformative agreements?The ongoing controversy surrounding transformative agreements, which aim to transition journal publishing to full open access, highlight the need for large-scale studies assessing the impact of these agreements on hybrid open access. By combining publicly available data from various sources, including cOAlition S Journal Checker, Crossref, and OpenAlex, this study presents a novel approach that analyses over 700 agreements. Results suggest a strong growth in open access between 2018 and 2022 from 4.3% to 15%. During this period, 11,189 hybrid journals provided open access to 742,369 out of 8,146,958 articles, representing a five-year open access proportion of 9.1%. Authors who could make use of transformative agreements at the time of publication contributed 328,957 open access articles. In 2022, 143,615 out of 249,511 open access articles in hybrid journals or 58% were enabled by transformative agreements. This trend was largely driven by the three commercial publishers Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Wiley, but the open access uptake varied substantially across journals, publishers, disciplines, and country affiliations. In particular, the OECD and BRICS areas revealed different publication trends. In conclusion, this study suggests that current levels of implementation of transformative agreements is insufficient to bring about a large-scale transition to full open access.

Kudos to #Zygon (a journal of science and religion) for flipping to #OpenAccess.

"The journal was previously pub'd by #Wiley-Blackwell under a subscription…model…1989-2023. As of Jan 2024, the journal & its entire back catalogue will be pub'd by the Open Library of Humanities…Thanks to the #OLH’s #DiamondOA model (funded by an international network of more than 340 supporting #libraries), Zygon is now free to read and does not charge authors publication fees."
