petersuber<p>Update with a comment.</p><p>Don't throw in the towel. First, reform research <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/assessment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>assessment</span></a> to move away from journal impact factors (<a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/JIFs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JIFs</span></a>) and to pay more attention to the quality of research than the number of publications or where they published. Second, move away from <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/APCs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APCs</span></a>. To make research <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/OpenAccess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAccess</span></a>, favor no-APC <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GreenOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreenOA</span></a> and <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/DiamondOA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DiamondOA</span></a> over APC-based varieties. </p><p>BTW, the Budapest Open Access Initiative 20th anniversary statement makes both these recommendations.
