@modularform I first read it as art of leaving, but I guess that comes at a later stage.

Too good!

@modularform @InnaVishik Some are doing well. The main problem for us is that recruitment in Indian Universities has started to rely heavily on metrics of the journal and the overlay journals are not in that system yet. This makes it risky for students to publish there.

@InnaVishik Something intermediate in the form of overlay journals have been tried. ArXiv is the main repository for the article. I don't know how many still remain functional.

Scrap the journals and formal peer review. A better system could be a dynamic arXiv-like document (including a verification system similar to arXiv) where new versions are assigned new DOIs, coupled with a comment section. Comments get DOIs. Helpful comments are incorporated into the living manuscript as edits or citations. Substantive additions are given co-authorship in updated version. Substantive critiques or re-analysis of data by another group get cited because they have DOIs and become part of the record of knowledge in this topic. Comments can be anonymous, but if you want credit and H-index growth, it has to be under your name.

The Astro-HEP group of @DPS_IISERM will be hosting the workshop : Frontiers in Gravity: 2026 the fourth edition of such national meetings, during 09th - 12th March 2026 sites.google.com/site/nsm2015ii…
