Pretty soon Springer Nature will own every company in the scientific research lifecycle. Then Elsevier will buy them out and there'll just be one company for all your scientific needs.
@Samuelmoore what this cheery press release doesn't say is what Springer Nature wants / will get out of this acquisition. I'm sure it isn't some altruistic move to sustain open scientific protocol sharing... #academicchatter@academicchatter
@gpollara@academicchatter A walled garden of services, I think. If you can provide everything a scientist needs then you can monetise and track them to the greatest extent possible.
@Samuelmoore@gpollara@academicchatter They have been data brokers more than publishers for over a decade now. I would pull everything from protocols.io if I had anything there.
