I'll be honest, I don't intend to submit academic papers to US-based journals and conferences anymore.
1. Self-censorship of science at US universities and scientific organizations is in full swing and I see virtually no institutional resistance (although some individual scholars are protesting). I don't expect to get a fair hearing with human rights-oriented empirical legal research in peer review any longer.
2. The way this is going I would expect even currently neutral journals to fold within the usual timeframe of a paper review process. I don't feel like burning a paper in the hopes of getting it published before the door closes.
3. I prefer to submit my research to journals backed by institutions that support human dignity, diversity and the freedom of scientific research.
We've all seen where this went in Europe during the 1930s. I hope the US will learn from our history, but I am not optimistic right now.
@lostgen @seanfobbe I was thinking about this today. I want to post to a preprint server, but Arxiv + EarthArxix both seem to have US dependencies, not sure I want to risk it...
@Ruth_Mottram Not sure if this fits your use case, but https://www.zenodo.org is a good general purpose repository. Major downside for preprints is that it is poorly indexed by Google Scholar etc.
@seanfobbe yeah I was thinking Zenodo may be an alternative...
@Ruth_Mottram @seanfobbe
I have also seen a lot of preprints from the French repository:
I think it is open to all and gets indexed in search engines.
Edit: Typo, as always
@ashwinvis @seanfobbe cool thanks will take a look
