Was it a technical glitch or something more serious like a cyberattack?

Academic journals have been exploiting researchers and universities for years, profiting massively while contributing little. It’s refreshing to see movements aimed at disrupting this exploitative model. Imagine if we could redirect those funds towards actual research rather than subscription fees! Open access and new publishing models might just be the key to democratizing knowledge. Thoughts on how we can support and scale these initiatives?
