Are you a researcher from Africa with a working paper you would like to submit to a decent journal but are worried about high fees? Take advantage of Springer Nature's country-tiered APC pricing pilot covering 64 of its journals. This is very encouraging to see from publishers, and is a step in the right direction in addressing fee-related disparities in publications particularly for researchers from the Global South. The APC proportions (discounts) to be paid by specific countries could be better determined IMO. However, at minimum, it shows that Springer Nature (and hopefully others as well) is actively trying to address a problem where researchers from the Global South are significantly under-represented in scientific publications. See the Missing Majority Dashboard by Rémi Thériault and Patrick Forscher (link below) to get a sense of the scale of the problem regarding representation of scholars from the South (at least in Psychology and Economics). I hope that more publishers can follow this lead. If you know other publishers with such initiatives, please add them (and links) to the comments for reach.

Disruptive frameworks should not aim for universality or replicability but should foster diverse, context-specific approaches that challenge dominant paradigms and enhance the inclusivity and relevance of scientific research.

Retractions of papers from research publications can be a key indication of a well-functioning research system, addressing honest errors, poor practice, and intentional research misconduct. Léo Gorman, James Thomas, and Daniel Lawson from the JGI worked with UKCORI analysing the Retraction Watch Database, to shed light on recent trends in academic retractions.     The proportion of UK academic papers retracted is comparable to other OECD countries. There are emerging issues driving retraction of papers since 2017 which need to be monitored. These include paper mills and papers containing 'randomly generated content'.     Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eJUMjWdi
