This is very juicy and articulates most of what infuriated me about #ImplementationScience: “ The field has rarely articulated the ways in which an underlying intervention naturalizes or obscures structural violence because it implicitly grants the premise of the intervention”

This is excellent on journal cascading.
Clearly, the rise of APC models of open access engendered this transformation, because authors had become paying customers that publishers were now invested in retaining. According to Pattinson and Currie (2024), ‘Instead of being filters for “bad research”, journals now stratify it according to brand values’. In this respect, publishers aren’t much different from, say, the Volkswagen group, which operates a tiered portfolio consisting of luxury brands like Lamborghini, status brands like Audi, and more accessible brands like Volkswagen. However, the difference is that publishers don’t even bother to actually create the new product and build an audience first. Instead, the market is assumed to come built into the product – kind of like creating a completely untested car and slapping a ‘Lamborghini-lite’ label on it based on the premise that the brand alone is enough to sell the car.
