βIn short, we are getting fleeced. The major scientific publishers enjoy profit margins in excess of 30 percent.

Publishers are getting rich on the backs of underfunded academic libraries and the unpaid labor of academics who serve as editors, reviewers, and authors. That system is unsustainable.β β Suarez & McGlynn, The Fallacy of Open-Access Publication, Chronicle of Higher Ed., Nov. 15, 2017
