It is a volume play at the mid tier journals at for profit publishers. They turf admin load to authors, keep costs low, and willing to sacrifice some manuscript attrition. It's a business model where you are the customer and also the labor.

It is a race to the bottom while publishing companies drive down costs and try to extract more from authors to maintain their very high profit margins.

At a BMJ family journal, we had a manuscript repeatedly bounced back because the submission system did not auto detect all of the authors on a long author list. So they requested submit cumbersome form to “change authors”, signed by all authors, even though the manuscript shows no such change made.

I think the key thing to remember is that the house R’s have little leverage to try to push through Trump’s NIH budget. The D’s can filibuster any cut in the senate and just look to a CR. And senate R’s have already demonstrated they will not go along either with Trump’s budget
