every time I look into the possibility to publish in actual academic journals I immediately feel doubt. Here is a couple of disincentives, deriving from an actual journal:- exclusivity: "I hereby grant to [journal], without limit of temporality, the exclusive license to publish and distribute it in any language through any type of support, whether now known or later developed." Why would I even think of doing that?- originality: "The manuscript submitted to [journal] is original and unpublished, was written by the authors indicated and has not been published in another medium." I tend to release early/release often whatever I'm working on. I post notes on the blog or through newsletters, etc. So the paper would be by no means original in the sense the journal understand it.

@entreprecariat I feel you, but note that on the latter point most journals *finally* make exceptions for preprints and the like.

@exquisitecorp Yes, I happened to publish in an OA journal. But most journals in my field are not OA and sometimes you have to pay to have your paper made openly accessible…
