Is there anything in place to stop those sorts of posts being made here?

As I understand it lemmys mod tools aren't great but there must be some way of stopping this behaviour.

Oh man the ones that are around people often are cheeky AF. They'd steal something off your plate in front of you.

Correct, scientists both do the labour of reviewing articles for free and then are also charged by the journals to view the articles.

There are essentially only a few publishing companies so it's basically a racket and they can do whatever they want. Most scientists in my field post preprint type articles on arXiv though so it can always be read there.

It would be good if scientists stopped publishing in closed access journals

The thing is, publishing your article as open access generally requires you as the author to pay upwards of $2k USD. I think I've seen some that are around 4k.

Some journals now also encourage a "plain language abstract" as well, along side the normal abstract.

I wonder if that would go in Australia or we'd get American style libertarian bs.

At the end of the day people have to live, if the sustainable option is too expensive people will buy what they can afford. That's not really their fault.

Commited to protecting cultural heritage from not being blown up.

This is really sad but it kind of shocks me that Australians don't know that you shouldn't swim up north.
