In 2019 scientometricians protested against high APC of Elsevier's Journal of Informetrics and founded @QSS_ISSI; meanwhile Elsevier has shamelessly increased its APC by another 50% to $3240, which is 4-5 times as high as APC of QSS ($600 for ISSI members, $800 for non-members)

I think all research can be enriched by engaging with bibliometrics experts and literature discovery. I learned about many of these tools by following @TheBibliomagic and @aarontay. This excellent piece goes over most of the tools I mentioned and more! aarontay.medium.com/3-new-to…
