The exploitative character of academic publishing in a single cartoon.

#publishing #universities #research #academics

h/t Alexandra Kupferberg/LinkedIn

Cartoon (meme - retitled) showing academic publishers at the ned of a plank over the void, supported by the weight of academics on the land-end, while one turns away (saying 'fuck this'), the publisher says: 'You will write papers for us & pay us to publish them. You will review those papers fo free. You will also pay us to read those papers'.

Almost the same for translators: Translators usually have min. 5 years of technical college or something comparable. Translations are done using server-based translation suites. The translations are stored in so-called TMs; word for word; sentence for sentence.

Translators are paid in cents (word repetitions often nothing); they create entire libraries with their know-how. Today, AI uses word modules and phrases from their libraries.

Translators have made themselves obsolete!
