How to Publish Your Academic Paper without Publishers, Bosses, Gods, or Masters
From the Report
Authors do not have to wait for permission to publish. They can avoid all the big feelings that come along with submission processes. Sovereignty can lend more enthusiasm, agency, creative energy, and spiritual connection to your work. Doing something because you feel the innate desire to do it feels authentic.
