Comment on Publishing Revenue
xspurnx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoDon’t forget the university libraries. Yup, researchers are paid by the university, those researchers pay the publishers to place their articles, the peer reviewers are also paid by the university. And then the university has to shell out money to the publishers, so the articles can be accessed.

Not necessarily. A lot are paid by external research grants.

I must admit what I wrote was simplified.
If you take into account that a lot of research grants are financed by tax money though…
