Most publishers are too complacent to change. It’s up to the contenders to aggressively disrupt and reform academic publishing, because we can’t rely on the publishers. @continuous.foundation and @curvenote.com working with preprints with #ATscience activists are the best chance we have imho.

It’s so much worse than you can imagine. 6m papers published a year and I would say half of all submitting authors and reviewers will be using a ~30 year old piece of software to contribute to publication. Yes that’s right. 30 years old. Three decades. Pre-broadband. Maybe pre-web.

Yeah Chive is great and has a fantastic future ahead. Not excluding them from the conversation, but they don’t have market traction **yet**. Curvenote, and the people behind them, are a bit further along in that journey is all. I’m a believer in the ATscience movement.
