It’s fine. Don’t forget, pharmaceuticals sit on like 40 years of unpublished medical advancements because releasing them is “unprofitable”.

I really think that a federated system for scientific publication could sense. Each “journal” is a separate instance, federated with all others. A department, a school, a research institute, whatever could host it. You manage submission, editing, peer review, etc. through the system.

What do you mean exactly by federated in this context?

What is getting federated in your ideal scenario?

I think what they mean is every journal behaves like an instance on lemmy, federated with eachother. One journal not living up to your standards, block them on your instance etc. Like lemmy

What does “instance” in this case refer to?

Does he mean something along the lines of advanced search filter/engine? because it can be done now, using the usual tools.

There is no way that I could think about his comment and make sense of it.
