Scientific publishers are producing more papers than ever Concerns about some of their business models are building

The Economist covered our "Strain on scientific publishing" paper.

Reading the paper in Cell about how to close the scissor plots in gender representation at senior academic positions, I feel just a touch of pessimism. Having reached a level of seniority (middle management) I didn’t think I ever would, I read these great ideas wanting more, much more /1.
