Breakdown of the study:
This study estimates the global amount of article processing charges (APCs) paid to six major publishers (Elsevier, Frontiers, MDPI, PLOS, Springer Nature, and Wiley) for open access publishing between 2019 and 2023. APCs are fees charged by publishers for publishing articles in open access journals (gold) or making individual articles open access in subscription journals (hybrid).
1. The estimated global spend on APCs for the six publishers was $8.349 billion from 2019 to 2023, or $8.968 billion when adjusted for inflation.
a. 73.2% of the spend went to gold open access.
b. MDPI, Elsevier, and Springer Nature generated the most APC revenue in 2023.
c. Annual APC spend almost tripled from $910.3 million in 2019 to $2.538 billion in 2023.
2. The median APCs paid were higher than the median listed APCs for both gold and hybrid open access.

@metrovalencia el tranvía de la línea 4 como siempre, tarde y a reventar.
A ver cuándo mejoran el servicio:
-Mejorando la frecuencia (no es posible que solo haya un tranvía c/ 20 min a Más del Rosaris si pasa por varias facultades de la UV)
-Enviando trenes de dos vagones
I am looking for a postdoc to analyze lake plankton time series and large spatial datasets to identify drivers of harmful algal blooms and to characterize community responses to changing conditions. Remote work is possible. Please RT and share. https://t.co/EfsVamYwvR
Doing a PhD is a strange experience, because every non-academic thinks you're an overachiever while you live in fear of being exposed as a wastrel and fraud
Poco se habla de esa gente que termina el doctorado con más de 20 publicaciones. Una cosa es que tus directores te ayuden, y otra es que te metan en todos sus artículos, no?

La Junta de CyL (PP-Vox) saca una convocatoria de investigadores postdoctorales en la que OFRECE 6 MESES DE CONTRATO SI ERES PREMIO NOBEL.
Vergüenza es poco.
Ever wondered why so much freshwater zooplankton work is on Daphnia? Or "what about other zooplankton, what do they do"? Then this opinion is for you! Thanks to Luc De Meester and Steven Declerck for this inspiring work! @PPGECOUFRN

Es increible como con una mano en la cintura extranjeria te puede tirar del país, lo malo de acá es que no hay incentivos para retener el talento que forman.
After living 8 years abroad, almost 5 years in Spain, my residence permit gets renewed for only 1.5 months until the last day of my current contract. Thank you Spain, you clearly want me to stay in this country😣#postdoclife#AcademicTwitter
@zzeynepersoy Spain has a lot of great kinds of stuff! But clearly, extranjeria is not one of them. Most of non-European ex-pats (scientists and non-scientists), at some point we have problems with extranjeria and bureaucracy.
@Renfe hola! Si compró un nuevo abono recurrente para una línea de cercanías de Valencia, me sirve solo para esa línea o para todas las demás líneas de cercanías de Valencia?
