A much betterdecision tree

What we can do 2: review for OA journals
Reviewing is professional-grade work.
If paid professionally, it would cost more than £100 per hour.
Let's invest it where it can do some good.
We do not owe paywalled journalsour free labour.

What we can do 5: deprecate journal rank
Journal rank is either:— Based on impact factor (“statistically illiterate”, Stephen Curry)— Subjective based on history
Both are biased againstnew journals
⇒ biased in favour oftraditional journals
We must judge paperson their own merits,not their venue.

What we can do 5: deprecate journal rank
Recruiting/grants based on author's papers' journal rankAre statistically illiterate
Like judging people on the label of their clothes.

Every career-stage has excuses
Students: just getting started
Postdocs: have to establish a reputation
Tenure-track: can't do anything to damage my tenure case
Senior: won't change a system that has been good to them
