Dear researchers,
I am sick of #Elsevier and their antics (ridiculous APCs, inaccessible articles, unauthorised data-mininig, etc.) and want to avoid publishing with them as much as possible.

Can you suggest good journals in the following topics / fields (society journals welcome):

1. #microalgae
2. #molecularbiology
3. #crispr
4. #sustainability

#opensource #openaccess #academicresearch #academia

Please #boost so I can reach other academics.

elife is interesting and they accept publish a lot of different types of papers

they have an open book review process last i checked, where you can see who the reviewers are, what their comments were, researchers' replies, etc.

@SRLevine You know funnily, I've had quite a bad experience with PLOS (One). I hope PLOS Biology is better.
