Quadruple dipping because they publish both open access journals that authors pay extra for, plus the standard subscription journals where universities need to pay for access too. Subscription obviously never got cheaper, no matter if the amount of open access journals increased (didn’t check that though, but fits well into the scheme)
Isn’t it a bit ridiculous for researchers to have to pay a publisher to publish the content that they themselves make money from?
They’re double dipping, and also triple dipping with the peer reviews done on a volunteer basis.
A racket, I say.
