Abinash Sahoo<p>We ran a Reddit survey, and the results are shocking:</p><p>publishing scientific papers is prohibitively expensive.</p><p>💸 $3K – $7.5K for open access in reputable journals</p><p>🔥 Top journals (e.g., Nature) charge $9K+</p><p>🚫 Even mid-tier journals cost $2K – $4K</p><p>PhD students rely on lab grants, while independents pay out of pocket. </p><p>📚 Science is becoming pay-to-publish, blocking access to knowledge.</p><p>We need decentralized, affordable publishing.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/DeSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeSci</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/funding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>funding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a></p>
Abinash Sahoo<p>While I am reading an article about DeSci on medium, I found something interesting.</p><p>📉 Young scientists are being left behind.</p><p>In 1980, 20% of NIH grants went to researchers 35 &amp; younger. By 2014? Just 1%.</p><p>Meanwhile, funding for 66+ scientists keeps rising.</p><p>I'm not saying it's a bad thing but without support, young innovators leave science—taking their fresh ideas with them.</p><p>We’re losing the next generation. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FundYoungScientists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FundYoungScientists</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>academia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/DeSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeSci</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/phdlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>phdlife</span></a></p>
Abinash Sahoo<p>While studying "Challenges and Timelines in Traditional Science Academia", I found something significant.</p><p>This table clearly shows that traditional publishing has some serious bottlenecks.</p><p>The main reason for the bottleneck is the unpaid peer review process.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/DeSci" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DeSci</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/publishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>publishing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/journal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>journal</span></a></p>
