Interesting. My PhD certificate (UK) says Doctor of Philosophy yet my title is PhD

All uk government funded research (UKRI) needs to be open access already. Its a change in business model from universities buying packages of journal subscriptions to universities paying for their staff’s publications. I’m sure the journals are making more money this way.

Both ways the authors, reviewers, and editors get nothing. Its disgusting. Its an abusive relationship. Its a system our careers and aspirations depend on.

What is a DPhil and how is it different to a PhD?
