Another point of clarification:

⛔️ Not all open access is “pay for publication”

Most ask for open access fees AFTER peer review has completed.

🔥 my hottest hot take from yesterday #ESRA2025 @esra-society.bsky.social

Amir Hadzic says everything gets published now

POV
Everything gets published if your name is Dr. Hadzic

Many journals with high standards that will reject low quality research.

Educ is needed to know where to go

⁉️
Suprascapular nerve supplies 70% of the pain sensation to the shoulder....

We've all heard this. Has anyone seen any evidence for this claim?

Tracing this back through various papers, I found a 1988 paper that stated this with no evidence or citation.
