I'm confused, as I've never delved much into the nature of journals short of what we had to in college. No, I never published a paper. Hopefully someone can explain/answer my question.
Do the publishers (somehow) force the authors to give them exclusive publishing rights or something? If not, why are these authors simply not putting their papers on multiple journal/platforms?
