There is a way to get some credit for reviewing, which is a good step: https://publons.com/home/

Likewise, the publishing process is unnecessarily inefficient and its results are only rarely made freely available to the public. Here we outline a comparatively simple extension of arXiv.org<http://arXiv.org>, an online preprint archive widely used in the mathematical and physical sciences, that addresses both of these problems. Under the proposal, editors invite referees to write public and signed reviews to be attached to the posted preprints, and then elevate selected articles to "published" status.” Also: http://blog.scienceopen.com/2016/04/what-if-you-could-peer-review-the-arxiv/ And: https://www.theguardian.com/science/occams-corner/2015/sep/07/peer-review-preprints-speed-science-journals (different things) I think the idea here is that people want to trust the manuscript - having it in Acta Cryst D (or whatever else) does give some measure of provenance. I suspect we could achieve the same with an open peer review process but it would be non-trivial, especially for most of the stuff which ends up in Nature… though this does not make it wrong, just hard.

Everybody I have talked to thinks the system is terrible, and various solutions have been proposed. One of these is, believe it or not, what I suggested, which is to pay reviewers. It is a huge amount of work, if one has a conscience about it, and the number of people with the expertise and experience required for this type of work is exceedingly small. Further, a real review of a paper takes significantly more than 2 hours of work, depending on the type of paper (I think you were joking about 2 h, but not totally sure). What really kills me is that the publishing houses are making money hand over fist, and this because they know that they can get very cooperative scientists (G-d bless them) to do huge amounts of work for free. It is really scandalous, and I am not sure why we scientists go along with it. To put it bluntly: we are being exploited by the journals; why not do something about it? I am sure that the journals will not be overjoyed to release their grip on the profits, but that should not stop us.

If you look at publishers' profit margins, you will see that they can afford it. I actually think the scientific community should go on a "review strike" until reviewers get paid.

Scientists in the Soviet Bloc got paid for publishing their scientific papers (and maybe for citations as well - not sure about that one)! We need to change the current system!

There are a lot of models here, but not necessarily well-validated. Anyway, if people want to read your papers and cannot get them from ResearchGate, I'm sure they can find them on another online collection, a hub of some sort ;) Cheers, Robbie -----Original Message----- From: Bernhard Rupp [mailto:hofkristall...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 29, 2018 13:23 To: 'Robbie Joosten'; CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK<mailto:CCP4BB@JISCMAIL.AC.UK> Subject: RE: [ccp4bb] Oxford University Press Agreed, but for 10 years old papers this seems a bit of overkill....

If they were, than OUP is being too aggressive (IMO), but otherwise it makes sense. I also find the ResearchGate is rather aggressive in bugging you to upload papers that are readily available from the publisher. The whole business bit in scientific publishing is a necessary (?) evil, but I guess if given the choice one should publish somewhere where you as an author retain copyright.
