		umanwizard on April 2, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: French ISPs Ordered to Block Sci-Hub and LibGen Are you in academia? Not trying to be snarky here -- genuinely want to know your perspective. As an outsider, everything I know about it leads me to believe that academia is so competitive that you really can't afford to just "not publish in top journals" and be picky about who you work with/what offers you take.

I am in academia, I just don't care to play the game.

An academia that cares about journal over quality of work isn't really one I want to be a part of, so either way I'll be happy with the outcome.
