El Duvelle<p>Everything is worrying at the moment but something I am wondering is if we <em>should</em> worry about the scientific publishers. Elsevier, Nature, <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/PLoS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PLoS</span></a>, maybe even <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/BiorXiv" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BiorXiv</span></a> and others - is it possible that the US government forces them to either stop publishing, delete some or all of their published papers, or only accept papers that correspond to specific criteria?</p><p><em>Edited because I thought most of these were US-based but they are not.</em></p><p>Please tell me there is nothing to worry about on that front at least.. <br><a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Academia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Academia</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://neuromatch.social/tags/AcademicPublishing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AcademicPublishing</span></a></p>
