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." https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pgph.0004673#Publishers #ScholComm

Dear researchers, I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.

Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):

1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability

#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia

Please #boost so I can reach other academics.
