The tongue out is absolutely fantastic 😍

Thank you, Volker! Glad to see you're still active! :D

You’re absolutely right! I thought publishers added some value, but I would never think they (I should say we at this point 😉) add so much value to the whole process!

It is good to see support from e.g. Sebastian Kozuch and Stefan Grimme for the poll. www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/...

Congrats, Volker! It is truly a remarkable piece! 👏

And we have ETHANE, so why not ETHENE? 😭

That would be awesome, thank you! ☺️

PS: Sorry for the rant!

while any other measure was outside the scope of that analysis (or at least, this is what I remember. I should read it again!😅). As you said, I guess you can't please everybody (I am definitely among those that liked your paper a lot, especially since it gave us the opportunity to connect 😊) 3/3

implying anything about quality, like the analysis suggests, for *every* published article in SIs. I think the message was clearly to criticize the practices of certain publishers, and how they used special issues to increase their revenue. The data you used definitely supported that, 2/n
