難道花錢就能發表所謂國際高水平論文？

 

Can we trust such papers published in such journal?

Becuase you can pay to publish it, it simply does not make sense! We should ask a question who will benefit more from such deal. 

Scientists as a whole use the tax payers money to do reearch, and this research would benefit the tax payers or society in an ideal case. However, scientists pay the journal to publish their research. In this deal, the people who run the journal make a big money or profit. The scientists publish their their research in the journal to get their reputation so that they use such reputation to get more fund (money) from the funding agency (paid by tax payers via the government). This circle would continue, and continue. From such a circle, the tax payers benefit nothing and cannot get anything!

I think the fund agency should look into such deal - that scientists pay the journal to publish their research! Otherwise, the tax payers will not be happy with such unethical deal - 'paying the journal to publish trash research'. Why should the public continue funding those gabbage research?

• 頂級雜誌 收出版費是慣例，不獨對中國，也很容易就能免交，除非你的單位願意交錢 -kankantw- ♂ (641 bytes) () 03/04/2017 postreply 06:39:13

• 論文 首先得評審過關 然後是編輯同意發表，出版費是之後的事，不交費也不影響出版，另外交Latex文本能免出版費 -kankantw- ♂ (1020 bytes) () 03/04/2017 postreply 10:54:00
