It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

These cancellations can be read in the context of an institution in financial trouble, but they also follow the general trend in the UK away from transformative agreements. Researchers will still have access through subscriptions and can publish their work OA through other means.

Two new facts stand out: 1. 85% of hallucinated citations in preprints are also in the subsequent journal version (thanks, peer review!) 2. Fake cites more likely to use the names of (male) scholars who are already highly cited, creating a fake-citation Matthew effect.

I agree wholeheartedly with Sam. "if your problem with open access is that commercial publishers are hoovering up all the money, design open access interventions that specifically prevent commercial publishers from receiving your money" The CRUK approach will badly harm their patient advocates.
