Vanity publishing as academic publishing

If you aren’t in academia, you may not realise that what used to be referred to as ‘vanity publishing’ (paying to get your first novel or poetry collection published) is part of the everyday practice of academic publishing. But it isn’t called that, obviously, because your work also has to be peer reviewed by other academics… So it’s different. It’s “quality publishing”.
